Fitzwilliam Museum

The Fitzwilliam Museum is the University of Cambridge's museum of art and antiquities on Trumpington Street, Cambridge, with a collection that ranges from ancient Egyptian artefacts to modern and contemporary art.

Why go

The Fitzwilliam Museum on Trumpington Street belongs to the University of Cambridge; Wikidata keeps its Founder's Building as a separate item, and this record is the museum. The museum describes a collection ranging from ancient Egyptian artefacts to modern and contemporary art, shown in changing displays alongside temporary exhibitions. Its plan-your-visit page says the collections and displays are free to visit, that exhibitions are ticketed, and that groups of ten or more people from the same organisation must book in advance. The same page says suitcases and oversized bags cannot be brought into the museum. Opening days and hours are set by the museum, so check its site before you go.
