Captivating culture in Cambridge
Located on Trumpington Street, in the heart of the city, the museum hosts a wide variety of art and artefacts which are sure to appeal to cultivated consumers of all ages and backgrounds.
Visitors will be able to take in paintings from the Dutch, Italian, Flemish and French schools, as well as Oriental and European pottery.
There is also the chance to view ancient coins, clocks, medical manuscripts and beautiful slabs of stone.
In addition, there is a cafe serving a variety of light lunches and snacks, with a shop also available for tourists to pick up a memento of their visit.
Various temporary exhibitions also take place throughout the year.
And with Mark Fisher, from Britain's Best Museums and Galleries, calling the facility's collection one of "beauty, quality and rarity" you can be sure that a visit to the Fitzwilliam Museum is bound to be captivating for all the family.
However, the museum is just one of the many cultural attractions contained in Cambridge, as visitors will also be able to take in modern art gallery Kettle's Yard, the Museum of Classical Archaeology which claims to have the finest collection of plaster casts of Roman and Greek sculptures in the world and the Clare College Gardens.
