Ely Museum invites us to "Come and explore the heritage of Ely and the surrounding fens, from the prehistoric creatures who swam in the ancient oceans to Ely today. Find out about the ways of life from the wide wetlands to the rich farmland and how the unusual landscape has shaped the lives of the people who lived here. Built on an island of solid land surrounded by marshes, discover the development of Ely from a monastic foundation to a market town."
Exhibitions explore "Who built Ely Cathedral? How were eels caught? What did Romans use to cook? What did Saxon women wear? Who was evacuated to Ely during WWII? What grows in the fields? Which ancient creatures lived here? How do you make a stone axe?"
Located at The Old Gaol, Market St, Ely CB7 4LS, the opening times are:
Tuesday to Saturday 10:30am - 5:00pm
Sunday 12:00pm - 5:00pm
