The Fitzwilliam Museum was founded in 1816 from the bequest of Richard, seventh Viscount Fitzwilliam of Merrion, and the tradition of philanthropy has supported the Museum to flourish as a place of knowledge, inspiration and beauty ever since.
Research, education, conservation, acquisitions, exhibitions and collections care have been made possible through acts of generosity.
