Archaeology and Anthropology Museum


The University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology is located just off Downing Street, behind the smaller Sedgwick Museum.

This is where to go to find out more about the history of Cambridge, for exhibitions trace the development of the town from pre-history right up until the present day.

But it is the Museum's excellent ethnographic collection, one of the oldest such collections in the world, that it is most famous for.

Covering all areas of the globe, many of the exhibits were collected by 18th and 19th century explorers - some by Captain James Cook himself.

The University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology is open from 10.30am to 4pm Mondays to Fridays and from 10am to 12.30pm on Saturdays. Admission is free.
