New Museums SiteFrom the oldest lecture rooms, where Cambridge’s earliest science students heard great names lecture, to the most modern of lecture theatres, the New Museums Site has it all.

Situated in the heart of Cambridge, it’s the home of many great scientific achievements: for a hundred years it housed the renowned Cavendish Laboratory where Cockcroft and Walton split the atom, Crick and Watson discovered the structure of DNA and JJ Thompson discovered the electron.

Charles Babbage, who gives his name to the most modern lecture theatre, devised the earliest calculating machine which has now been reconstructed in London’s Science Museum.

Used for large and prestigious lectures, The Babbage Lecture Theatre is the University’s premier scientific lecture theatre.
