Whether you are looking for a great day out or fun activities to do at home, Summer with the Museums has it all. This year, museums in Cambridge and beyond are offering a range of events, activities, trails and resources both in-person and online. So whatever the weather and wherever you are, you can still enjoy some museum-themed fun.
Set out on a twilight bat patrol, learn how to identify fossils, find out about some amazing women scientists or discover what it was like to be a Civil War soldier. With over 28 museums and collections involved, there are loads of activities and events for you to choose from – many of which are low cost or free.
