Cambridge University Library

Medieval in the Medical World Exhibit, Cambridge University Library I booked free tickets online, and on arrival the receptionist gave me a lanyard to wear. The exhibit is mostly located downstairs in its own dedicated room, with toilets nearby. The information provided was clear, easy to read, and well presented. It was also pleasantly quiet, with only two other visitors during my visit. The second part of the exhibit is upstairs in the University Library, where you can browse some of their fascinating medical books. Bags need to be left in a locker, which is provided. A well-organised and interesting exhibit that’s easy to explore at your own pace.

Came here for some research work at this esteemed library. Really grateful for the help before the visit and some great service. Very clear instructions. They have a system you need to go through to visit and order items. This is a huge building and one needs some help finding the way around for sure. Here, there are specialist collections and unique books.

Absolutely beautiful building, incredible examples of architecture and history! Absolutely free medieval cures exhibition was amazing! Lovely people and space to be in.

Free visit with a very interesting exhibition to see. The library itself is impressive and worth discovering.

Curious cures exhibition. Interesting to look round the library as well.

I went on a tour of Clare College organised by the university and a local council. The facilities look very inviting with subsidised cafes and bars. A pint of beer is £3 and the bar is run by students for the students. There is a nice community vibe to the place.

the number and variety of books here blew my mind!! Cambridge is the best place to find good book recommendations, and Cambridge University Library offers fantastic academic literature (I looked for medical/ chemistry textbooks) in multiple languages... also fun to look through the huge collection of census data and see if you can find your ancestors, very fun :))

The library exhibition on litery xrime Free with tickets, get these online, whilst small is worthy of the visit. With some wonderful exhibits and leaving crime readers with something to ponder. There is a coffee shop here too. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Standing tall over the city. Imposing. Grand. The 'UL' contains a fantastic collection of books. It is also a central point of study for many students, being a central point for study at the world famous University of Cambridge. Not everyone can use the library. Only members of the University of Cambridge and Academic staff and research students from other universities can use it. Undergraduate and taught postgraduate students from other UK universities can apply to access the Library for reference during Cambridge vacations. Even if you can't get in, it is worth having a wonder round the site to be impressed by the sheer size of it. And why not keep walking and have a look around the Sidgwick site of the University of Cambridge - home to the Arts Faculties of the University.
