		Founded in 1816, it is one of the oldest public museums in the country.
		The closure of part of the Museum, due to its Courtyard Development Project has provided the National Gallery with a unique opportunity to borrow a group of Italian, Dutch and Flemish masterpieces painted between the mid 16th and 18th centuries to form this special exhibition.
		These paintings represent major strengths of the Fitzwilliam Museum's collection, as well as its history, by closely reflecting the interests of its founder, Richard, 7th Viscount Fitzwilliam of Merrion (1745-1816), whose own bequests may not be lent from the Museum.

	Quiet triumph for the Fitzwilliam: on 1 June, the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge unveils a major addition to its ...
		The Fitzwilliam's place in the affections of so many across the world means there is an unusually acute interest in the unveiling on 1 June of a major addition to its buildings.
		There is a striking contrast between the confidence and success of the museum's building projects up to the mid-twentieth century and the hesitancy and indecision that has marked its architectural development from then until now.
		The building was cheap--it cost only 100,000 [pound sterling]--and serviceable, in that it gave the museum a much-needed new library and a gallery for temporary exhibitions, but in architectural terms it was an anticlimax, its pallid brick walls almost comically mean in comparison with the earlier buildings.
