GET LOST IN CENTURIES OF HISTORY
Cambridge has so many museums to visit that you simply won’t be able to fit them all into one day
Enjoy marvelling at ancient Egyptian relics in the Fitzwilliam Museum. Visit the North and South Poles at The Polar Museum. Take a look at the original specimens that Darwin collected on his famous trip on The Beagle. Or gaze upon old masters by artists such as Canaletto, Titian and Cezanne.
