We will have a guided tour by Stella Panayotova, Keeper of MSSBC, of this wonderful exhibition celebrating the Fitzwilliam’s 2016 bicentenary with a stunning display of 150 illuminated manuscripts from its rich collections. They range from the prayer books of European royalty and merchants to local treasures like the Macclesfield Psalter, from an alchemical scroll and a duchess’ wedding gift to the ABC of a five-year old princess.
This guided visit will be followed by an optional lunch at Loch Fyne Restaurant , across the road from The Fitzwilliam Museum, or the Fitzwilliam Cafe (depending on preference) around 1.30/1.45pm. After lunch there will be time to look at the permanent collection or return to the exhibition at your own leisure or walk around Cambridge.
