   The Fitzwilliam Museum is a beautiful collection of antiquities, paintings, sculptures, and everything in between. And in 1816, through a generous gift from a previous student of Cambridge University. The Fitzwilliam Museum has something for everyone. Whilst at the Fitzwilliam Museum, your guide will show you some of their impressive collection. Sadly don't have time to see everything, but your guide will do the best they can to show you the part of the collection that you have a personal interest in. Your guide will also tell you about one of the most unfortunate incidents at the Fitzwilliam Museum which involved a staircase, a falling visitor, and half a million pounds worth of the Fitzwilliam's collection, which had to be restored! Unfortunately, as the Fitzwilliam Museum is closed on Mondays, tours taking place on Mondays will be unable to visit this location. Monday tours will use the extra time to explore more of the Botanic Gardens.

   Pembroke College is the first of several Cambridge Colleges we will visit during our time in the city. This college contains a wonderful chapel, the first building to be built by the great architect - Sir Christopher Wren. At Pembroke, your guide will explain how Wren (who was working at Cambridge's great rival Oxford at the time) came to build the first of his Churches. It is without doubt that without this first chapel at Pembroke, Wren would never have gone on to build his masterpiece Saint Paul's Cathedral in London. During your time exploring Pembroke your guide will also tell you how the college's alumni have gone on to become famous comedians, actors, poets, and even a Prime Minister!
