Pictures reveal the newly revamped Museum of Technology in Cambridge

Take a look inside the newly redeveloped and very impressive industrial heritage museum

The Cambridge museum of Technology now has a new wheelchair ramp

The Cambridge Museum of Technology has reopened to the public after its major redevelopment, and it looks amazing.

The original building in which the museum currently sits in is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, which housed a combined sewage pumping and waste destructor station built in 1894.

But now over a hundred years later, the building is in use as a very impressive industrial heritage museum. And the museum itself has just had a makeover.

The redevelopment has included repairing the historic boiler system to run the steam engines again, creating new displays on local industries and technology, and improving visitor facilities and disabled access.

And there is plenty to see and do when you visit. You can go and see the steam engine, the gas engine room, the boiler house and loads more. There is also a dressing up area for children (or adults who are young at heart).

If you fancy heading down and getting a look for yourself then you will find the Museum situated on Riverside in Cambridge. 

It is part of National Cycle Route 11 and is an easy ten-minute cycle ride from the city centre. There is also pay-and-display parking on Riverside and limited free parking on Cheddars Lane, so there really is no excuse not to visit.
