fitzwilliam museum

一进入大门即被精致的内部建筑所吸引,馆内参观是免费的,馆中收藏有超多的艺术品,很值得花多点时间留在这里参观.

Brilliant range of exhibitions, especially the paintings. Also had the Rothschild statues on display. Museum was so good, we went twice!

Excellent, if you like museums, this is a must see, the cafe serves good coffee and cakes, I did not try lunch but it looked OK.

The Fitzwilliam is a very interesting museum - very good ceramics collection, art, fans, manuscripts, Greek and Roman artefacts etc. The building itself is also interesting to look at. We had a light lunch there - very nice but quite expensive.

Popped in as we were passing only to find that the limited time we had available did not allow us to see everything as you need at least 2 or 3 hours to do it justice.

We arrived soppy wet, with suitcases in tow. The staff were very helpful and friendly in helping us store our things somewhere while we went round the museum. The museum itself is like a mini British Museum or V&A. The cafe and shop were very nice, but we felt the cafe was a bit overpriced. Perhaps this is justifiable as the museum entry is free.

This museum has an excellent selection of art across e centuries, which was much more interesting than we expected. Plus some good statues and busts. Only visit the gallery if you do not suffer from vertigo!

It's got something for everyone and it's free to get in! If you are in Cambridge on a rainy day you can't really go wrong!

Some lovely objects here....particularly loved the pottery. Brilliant designs that were so contemporary. Also the art galleries have some very significant works. A real pleasure to sit and gaze.

We travelled to Cambridge specifically to visit the museum (100 mile round trip); it was well worth it. In some ways it was like a mini V & A museum. There was so much to see; I would hardly describe it as small, as one reviewer did.A tip! Leave your coat and bags in a locker in the basement/lower floor area. I believe you even get your £1.00 back on returning the locker key.We were there a good two to three hours and didn't manage to see everything. There is so much variety, and so much to see. An amazing collection!

A recent reviewer wrote "Admission is free, but I would have paid to get in". This is nonsense because donations at a guide sum of GBP 5 per head are clearly invited, so this person could/should have paid anyway. There is a wide range of excellent exhibits, including paintings by Monet, Turner and Constable. The most topical exhibits are the two "Bachants Riding on Panthers", attributable to Michelangelo, although this has not been 100% proven. However, the anatomical detail of the figures is magnificent and this alone is worth a generous donation.

Simply brilliant collection of historical artefacts on ground floor and artworks on upper floor. What really struck me was how clear, bright and open the displays were. Not dark and dingy like some other museums. You really get close and can see colours and the details. Admission is free but I would have paid to get in. Definitely worth a visit!

I visited the museum to see their sampler collection - not a huge number on display at the moment but still enough to make the visit worthwhile. I didn't find the plan of the museum particularly clear but enjoyed wandering and browsing my way through the collections. Of course the stars of the show at present are the newly recognised Michelangelo sculptures - seeing them so well displayed, allowing close viewing, was the icing on the cake.

The Fitzwilliam has a very varied collection of spectacular pieces. Pictures, armour, ceramics .....go and explore! And prepare to be surprised. The exhibits speak for themselves - yes, there are labels and further information, but no whizzy interactives.I suppose you could consider that a visit to the Fitzwilliam is like visiting parts of the British Museum and the V&A and the National Gallery and the Tate all in a day - and surviving with a pleasantly filled brain rather than overload. The quality of the material is superb.The Fitzwilliam also puts on superb special exhibitions - one that sticks in my mind was for Charles Darwin's bicentenary. Some of his field notebooks, specimens, and interesting discussion of the impact of his work...There's a pleasant cafe too.

Nice Museum where we can find several sorts of things in it, pottery, porcelain, pictures, paintings, furniture from several periods. I enjoyed it very much. And it's free!
