The Fitzwilliam MuseumThe Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge has been described as 'one
of the greatest art collections in the UK', and was named 'best
small museum in Europe' by the Director of the National Gallery of
Art in Washington, DC. Setting aside a few hours to explore the
museum should be first on everyone's list of things to do in
Cambridge. The Fitzwilliam Museum houses an extensive art
collection from a number of countries across Europe and the Near
East. Visitors can marvel at the inspiring sculptures, drawings,
prints, armour, pottery, paintings and antiquities on display,
which date from the 14th century to the present day. Address: Trumpington Street, Cambridge Website: www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk Email: fitzmuseum-enquiries@lists.cam.ac.uk Telephone: (0)1223 332 900 Transportation: The museum is a 20-minute walk from Cambridge train
