Extract

The Fitzwilliam Museum, founded through the bequest of Richard, 7th Viscount Fitzwilliam of Merrion (1745–1816), is the principal museum and art gallery of the University of Cambridge. The Museum's collection of Greek, Roman and Cypriot antiquities grew steadily throughout the 19th and 20th centuries by gift, bequest, excavation and purchase, and is today one of the finest such collections in the United Kingdom outside London.
