Historien om Fitzwilliam Museum
Fitzwilliam Museum fungerer som kunst-og antikvitetsmuseet for University of Cambridge. Dets rødder strækker sig helt tilbage til 1816, hvor det blev grundlagt gennem testamentet fra Richard FitzWilliam, 7. viscount FitzWilliam. Denne stiftelse transformerede en privat arv til en offentlig institution dedikeret til studiet af kunst og historie. Museet er beliggende på Trumpington Street i hjertet af Cambridge, Storbritannien. Før dets nuværende placering var institutionen hjemmehørende i Fitzwilliam House. Dette oprindelige sted lå i det sydvestlige Cambridge, placeret overfor den nuværende museumsbygning. Museet er fortsat en partner i konsortiet University of Cambridge Museums og opretholder sin tætte forbindelse til universitetets brede akademiske liv. Samlingen er vokset gennem århundreders opkøb og omhyggelig bevaring.
Museets storslåede arkitektur
Museets bygninger og facaden mod gaden er fredet som Grade I-listed, hvilket markerer stedet som en betydningsfuld arkitektonisk kraft i Cambridge, Storbritannien. Konstruktionen, som blev tegnet af Sir Richard Richardson i 1870'erne, er et neo- Renaissance -værk af betydelig tyngde og formål. Det ydre er defineret af en klassisk stenfacade, der møder beskueren med en følelse af uforgængelighed. Denne storslåede facade er opført i cremefarvet sten, som danner en lys og rolig baggrund for det livlige sceneri på Trumpington Street. Ved indtræden bliver designets enorme skala tydelig gennem en storslået indgang og velstrukturerede udstillingsrum. Den indre planløsning lægger op til en rolig vandring gennem de forskellige gallerier, hvor arkitekturen fungerer som en ramme om de genstande, der er udstillet. Den rumlige organisering fremstår ordnet og leder blikket gennem salene uden behov for overflødig ornamentik. Det er et sted, hvor det fysiske miljø skaber en disciplineret og værdig ramme om de skatte, det rummer.
