Parking at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology on Downing Street
The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has no visitor parking on site, so drivers should not plan on arriving with a guaranteed museum space. Limited on-street metered parking is available on Regent Street and Trumpington Road, according to the museum’s getting-here information (maa.cam.ac.uk).
The site is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm and on Sunday from 12pm to 5pm (maa.cam.ac.uk).

For general parking, the museum identifies limited metered street spaces on Regent Street and Trumpington Road rather than an attraction car park (maa.cam.ac.uk).

The museum’s accessibility information also records that onsite parking can be arranged for disabled visitors in advance (museums.cam.ac.uk).

The site is closed to visitors on Monday under those published opening hours, so weekday demand is not uniform across the week.
