Accessibility

The main entrance on Downing Street is fully accessible to wheelchair users and there is a lift for visitors. There are toilets available within the museum.

Detailed information about accessibility can be found here.


Facilities

Baby changing facilities are available. The Museum does not have a restaurant or cafe on site (and eating and drinking is not permitted in the Museum as this can attract pests that could potentially damage the artefacts) but there are several open spaces nearby for picnics in good weather and our team will be happy to tell you about other local places to eat, including The Whale Cafe at the nearby Museum of Zoology which is open to the public. Breastfeeding and bottle feeding is welcomed in all Museum spaces.


Lost Property 

The Museum will keep any items left behind at the front desk for two weeks, after which we will take them to charity.


Map

The Museum is a 5 minute walk from the main bus station and from Market Square, and a 20 minute walk from the Cambridge train station.
