The Fitzwilliam has a wide range of exhibits, but is no British Museum! We enjoyed the art in particular, and especially the small Quentin Blake exhibition. The gift shop was great for some souvenirs to take home.

The Museum is a short walk from the Hilton where we stayed. I recommend it. You can go and get lost all day or just focus on what ever you are interested in. There are several floors. They have a wonderful collection of art from all over the World. Including artifacts from Egypt. There is a gift shop which has... More

There is a wealth of artefacts housed here but the staff did nothing to enhance the visit. We found the small pale tone printed descriptions difficult to read as they were often placed high or in inaccessible places; no wonder the school party looked bored to death.
