We can't wait to welcome you to the museum!
Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
We are open Tuesday to Sunday. Admission is free.
Last entry is at 4.30pm
Our lift is currently out of order. As a result, access to the 1st and 2nd floor galleries and our toilets is by stairs only. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. The nearest public toilets to the Museum are at the Grand Arcade – a two-minute walk away. Find details of accessible public toilets in Cambridge on the Cambridge City Council website.
- If you are visiting the museum with a group of 10 or more people please book in advance by emailing visitor.services@maa.cam.ac.uk. Please note that your group visit is booked only once you receive a confirmation email from the museum.

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 on our Accessibility page.
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. Our team will also 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.
