Exhibitions Discoveries Art, Science and Exploration from the University of Cambridge Museums 27 May – 27 July Mellon Gallery (13) LATE NIGHT Thursday 3 July until 20.00 Following recent success at London’s Two Temple Place, the Fitzwilliam Museum is pleased to be able to display a smaller version of the Discoveries exhibition the first major show to bring together the fascinating collections from all eight University of Cambridge Museums. The exhibition challenges and responds to the very notion of ‘discovery’, displaying objects that span millennia; from artworks to scientific artefacts, historic instruments to rare zoological specimens. It is about imagination and knowledge, the pleasures of looking and the power of objects to generate wonder as well as new ideas. Please visit our website for more information. See pages 7 & 8 for complementary events.
