The Fitzwilliam Museum is not just the principal museum of the University of Cambridge but also one of the leading UK museums outside London. This book traces its story from the Museum’s origins in the 1816 bequest of Richard, 7th Viscount Fitzwilliam of Merrion, up to the present day. At the same time it sets the Fitzwilliam’s individual story against the larger context of the growth and development of museums and galleries in the UK and further afield.The text and illustrations draw primarily on the rich and hitherto largely unpublished archives of the Fitzwilliam Museum, including the Syndicate Minutes,the reports of University debates published in the Cambridge University Reporter from 1870 on wards, compilations of earlier nineteenth-century documents,architectural plans and drawings, newspaper reports, letters, diaries, exhibition catalogues, photographs and other miscellaneous documents. With this material a substantial proportion of the narrative can be told through contemporary voices, not least those of the Museum’s thirteen Directors to date, each one a strong and influential character.

Material Cultures in Public Engagement available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Material Cultures in Public Engagement volume seeks to document and explore the significant change in the relationship of Museums with collections of the Ancient World and their audiences. The volume establishes a new approach to the study of public archaeology as a discipline and application within Museums, by bringing together the voices and experiences of museum professionals (curators, conservators and researchers) and public engagement professionals. Chapters in this volume present clear case-studies of the variety and diversity of public engagement projects conducted currently within European Museums and beyond. While the majority of case studies presented in the volume’s chapters stem from European Museum programmes, plenty of reference is made on parallel strategies and successful public engagement programmes outside Europe (e.g. recently implemented projects by the Pointe-à-Callière Museum, Montreal, the Dallas and Cleveland Museums of Art, or the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, to name but a few). Case studies within the volume provide important insights as to why public engagement programmes have developed in different ways between Europe and the Americas, as well as whether these differences may stem from different curatorial practices. Finally, a number of studies included in this volume point out that methodologies and practices of public engagement applied currently by Museums in or outside Europe, are rarely the subject of theoretical and methodological scrutiny, unlike other fields of study of the Ancient World or other social sciences. In summary, chapters within the book promise to contribute to the advancement of public engagement with the Ancient World, as well as to the advancement of public archaeology itself as a practice.
