Housed in the historic White Horse Inn building, the Museum of Cambridge offers a fascinating journey through the region's social history. Exhibits include a Victorian kitchen, a 19th-century chemist shop, and displays on local crafts, trades, and domestic life. Visitors can explore period rooms, see a collection of horse-drawn vehicles, and learn about the city's evolution from a market town to a university hub. The museum provides a down-to-earth contrast to Cambridge's academic attractions.
