The Fitzwilliam Museum
Covering everything from sculpture, antiquities from across the ancient world, fine and applied arts, manuscripts and coins, the Fitzwilliam has been hailed as "the finest small museum in Europe".
Founded in 1816, the museum is housed in the Grade I listed Founder's Building - an imposing temple-like structure in the Neoclassical style in central Cambridge.
From antiquity to the present day, the Fitzwilliam houses over half a million objects and works of art from around the world. See everything from ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman artefacts, to medieval illuminated manuscripts, paintings from Titian to Riley, world class prints and drawings from Turner to Hokusai, and outstanding collections of coins, ceramics, and applied arts.
The collection is complemented by a year-round programme of exhibitions and events.
