Cambridge Science Centre
Cambridge Science Centre, initially located on Jesus Lane in Cambridge, England, is the city's first interactive science museum. The start-up exhibition space was opened by the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University, Leszek Borysiewicz, on 7 February 2013,[1] the museum was opened to the public on 8 February 2013. Its first exhibition dealt with the electromagnetic spectrum and principles of sound and hearing. The museum was founded by Dr. Chris Lennard and Dr. Katia Smith-Litiere, backed by technology entrepreneurs, including chairman David Cleevely, Hermann Hauser and Jonathan Milner.[2]
In December 2016, the exhibition space was closed for relocation.[3] While they were relocating, Cambridge Science Centre put on a series of pop up science events known as 'Street Science'. The museum reopened in April 2018.[4]
