Default Re: Museums

Back to Biggleswade, I'm not sure if these fit in with your timetable:

The RAF Signals Museum is very close at Henlow. http://www.rafsignalsmuseum.org.uk/index.html

Only open the 1st Saturday of the month, but Tuesdays by arrangement. You'll need to bring ID to get on site. "Our next public Open Day is on June 1st, 2019. Visitors may also come on a Tuesday but this must be pre-booked or entry will be denied."

If in Cambridge, I'm told the Computing Museum is very good but make time for the Cambridge Museum of Technology which is re-opening after refurbishment on 7th June. https://www.museumoftechnology.com/

It's on a nice Riverside location and used to have a small tea shop, steam pumping engines and a small printing workshop. A new building has just been completed housing a display of Pye equipment that was manufactured locally; scientific Instruments, domestic radio and TV, military and civil communication systems and some broadcast equipment.

Not much on the web about this yet:

https://twitter.com/CamTechMuseum gives a few pictures.

Regards,

SR
