Hear the stories many visitors miss: Egyptian beliefs and rituals, the world of Greece and Rome, the evolution of European porcelain, and the way light, colour, and technique transform paintings you’ve seen online into something unforgettable in person.
The Fitzwilliam holds over 500,000 artworks and historical objects, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed without a plan. This guided route gives you structure, context, and a narrative—so the museum feels like a story, not a maze.
Unlike a script-based tour, our guides explain objects from a research-led perspective, using clear, engaging language (and a touch of humour) to help you connect the dots between history, myth, culture, and artistic innovation.

The Fitzwilliam Museum is the University of Cambridge’s museum of art and antiquities and one of the UK’s most important public museums. Founded in 1816 following the donation of Sir Richard Fitzwilliam’s private collection, it now houses over 500,000 objects from across the world.
From the museum’s grand façade and staircase to the collections within—Egyptian mummies, French Impressionist paintings, medieval icons, Chinese porcelain, and Classical sculpture—the Fitzwilliam offers an extraordinary journey across centuries and continents.
Because the museum is part of the University of Cambridge, its curatorial approach is deeply rooted in research and education. For visitors, that means this is more than “just a museum”: it’s one of the best places in Cambridge to experience the city’s academic and cultural life in a single visit.
