    Good

    The ramp access is to the side of the museum and is clearly sign-posted at the front of the museum. The front access has three steps up to the door. Once inside the museum is it all on one level and there is lots of space to manoeuvre about. There's quite a few display cases with lots of artefacts and articles to read.

    Excellent

    There are two sets of doors in the museum and both are automatic . The articles in the museum were well lit and easy to read. There is a seat in the museum, but I only saw one in the main gallery.

    Accessible facilities: Single-level venue, Step-free entrance

    I travelled to this place by bus

    I caught a local bus there from Cambridge city centre and it stopped about 25 yards from the entrance to the museum. The return trip was a bit more tricky as the stop was quite a bit further away.
