Cambridge museums are quite cool and informative places. I have always loved them. Even the Fitzwilliam is pretty good, although they are rather stern in their attitude to photography. Something to do with copyright infringement.
The other, smaller more specialised museums are more relaxed about photography and there are times when you need to elbow your way through surging crowds of school kids and foreign language students as well as tourists.
I like to go when it is quiet and you can be wrapped in solitude. There is nothing quite like being face to face with a dinosaur skull. Or a cabinet full of strange forms. Or indeed the cabinets themselves; large, wooden and glass constructions. It's solid weirdness.
