Located in the heart of Cambridge, on Trumpington Street, the Fitzwilliam has been the University of Cambridge's museum of art and antiquities since its foundation in 1816.
The museum was founded by Richard Fitzwilliam (1745-1816), a great collector. On his death, he bequeathed his works and a large sum of money to build a museum. The museum was built and opened in 1848 as a large neoclassical temple.
Housing over half a million objects, the Fitzwilliam has an astonishing variety of beautiful artefacts and works of art from around the world. You'll find everything from Egyptian coffins to Impressionist masterpieces, illuminated manuscripts to Renaissance sculptures, rare coins to Asian art.
Its internationally renowned collections are complemented by major exhibitions, events, music and workshops throughout the year, as well as unique gifts in the museum shop and delicious refreshments in the café. You can find works by Claude Monet, Tiziano Vecellio and the Nakhtefmut mummy case. Admission to the museum is free.
