An incredible collection considering it's a University museum . I enjoyed it better than the Louvre. Beautiful buildings, well marked and described pieces. Not as crowded . Free entry!

I work at the Fitz - my tip is the Fan gallery (fans) & Rothschild gallery (medieval works & illuminated manuscripts). They are small but full of great objects. They are near the courtyard entrance.

Described as “one of the greatest art collections of the nation”, the Fitzwilliam courtyard is also a pleasant place to stop for tea and discuss your favourite pieces!

Some fantastic Impressionists, for somewhere so far from town

If Roman History is your thing, then there's a top collection of actual Roman Coins, busts, and statues (amongst other things) on the sub-level. Keep an eye out for an actual Denarius of Augustus.

El museo es increible. No tiene tantas cosas pero la arquitectura de la sala principal es maravillosa

Lazy Dopey

英國的博物館都令人嘆為觀止, 若走到一間二樓有掛畫的房間,可以從旁邊的小樓梯走上去觀賞. 記得上面有指示方向,不要和人群走反囉,因為上面很窄不適合兩人擦身
