Formally opened by the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University, Leszek Borysiewicz, on 7 February 2013, the museum was opened to the public on 8 February 2013. Its first exhibition dealt with the electromagnetic spectrum and principles of sound and hearing. Its target audience is families and schools, particularly children between 7 and 14 years old.
The venture was founded by Chris Lennard and backed by technology entrepreneurs, including chairman David Cleevely, Hermann Hauser and Jonathan Milner.
As of early 2017, it had to leave its original site, and went into a popup form while preparing to move into a new site.
