Museums and Galleries

So many worlds to visit all in one place. On the same day you could marvel at ancient Egyptian relics in the Fitzwilliam Museum, visit the North and South Poles at the Scott Polar Institute, take a look at the original specimens that Darwin collected on his famous trip on The Beagle, gaze upon old masters by artists such as Canaletto, Titian and Cezanne, take in some modern art at Kettle’s Yard……and all within walking distance of each other.
