β: This is a Beta release of the Fitzwilliam Museum's potential new website.
We want to co-design
our Virtual Museum presence with you.
You can return to our current site at any time.
Following the Government announcement yesterday, museums and galleries in Cambridge will be closed to the public as part of a period of national/local restrictions. So, with great sadness, we will not be able to reopen as planned on 2 January 2021.
This representative selection of exhibits introduces the main themes of the exhibition '"I Turned it into a Palace": Sir Sydney Cockerell and the Fitzwilliam Museum' (4 November 2008–17 March 2009).
