Cambridge Museum of Technology, Independent museum in Cambridge, England.

The Cambridge Museum of Technology showcases industrial heritage through exhibits about sewage systems, waste disposal, and manufacturing developments in a Victorian pumping station building.

Established in 1970, the museum preserves the 1894 Cheddars Lane Pumping Station that operated until 1994 as part of Cambridge's sewage management infrastructure.

The museum presents exhibitions about Cambridge's industrial achievements, featuring displays about Pye Electronics and the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company in dedicated buildings.

Located on the River Cam, the museum opens Friday through Sunday from 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with refreshments available at Kerb Kollective cafe.

Two Hathorn Davey steam engines remain at the site, with one still operating during special steam demonstration events throughout the year.
