What a fantastic day to visit the museum and explore the walk through time! Lighting displays and history information about ancient times I feel was done in a fantastic way. Felt safe and was able to ask about information. Cafeteria and shop was busy but found seating and enjoyed the coffee.
Personally I needed to spend more time at the museum and definitely will be returning soon.

The Fitzwilliam Museum might genuinely be the best museum I’ve visited in the UK and that’s a huge claim considering I’ve been to the Ashmolean in Oxford and most of the major museums in London. But this one completely stole the spotlight.
The vibe, the artistry, the atmosphere… the whole place has an aura that’s almost infectious. You walk in and immediately feel the need to pause and take everything in. The café is excellent, the staff are welcoming, and the layout is thoughtful and easy to navigate. Everything feels carefully curated and immaculately presented.
If I had one minor critique, it’s that the entire first section was mostly plates and ceramics. If you come from an ethnic family, you might get a few jokes about that! But moving further in, the breadth of the collection really shines. I especially appreciated the Nigerian section on the top floor—you don’t see African art well-represented in many UK museums, so it was refreshing to see it given proper space and respect.
Overall, it’s a solid 10/10. An unforgettable experience and absolutely worth a visit for anyone coming to Cambridge.

I'm not generally interested in history but as a free place to visit you can spend hours admiring the exhibits. There is a nice café, although a little expensive does offer some quality snacks. I went for a sausage roll which is better than you would normally expect.
It's an impressive building. I was most impressed by the pictures which are incredible in the way some of the artists can capture light.
