Cambridge Museum of Technology
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.
