Growing up, my passion has always been art, in particular painting, so becoming an art historian and being privileged to work at the National Gallery in London was a dream come true! I have since lectured at other major collections and acted as front of house presenter at archaeology displays at sites in France when I lived abroad, so I am most at home inside a museum or in sight of art ! Any opportunity to talk about and share the superlative art collections in Cambridge with you is a no brainer. I consider art to be an integral part of life and still enjoy discovering new artists and artefacts at exhibitions and when I travel away from home. My part time work teaching adults at the Fitzwilliam Museum and other City museums offers me plenty of opportunities for this due to the rolling displays and shows curated there plus of course the permanent art collections ranging from Egyptian antiquity, Greek and Roman art, ceramics, a fan gallery, painting, sculpture, from medieval through to contemporary art
Archaeology in Britain is bringing new and intriguing finds to the world's attention virtually every day, conjuring up an evocative picture of the past ! Witness the gold and jewel cross found in the medieval grave of a young girl, unearthed just a few years ago and now on display at the Archaeology and Anthropology Museum, where we start this special tour. I would like to take you back through layers of time to view Cambridge above ground but also literally beneath our feet. This is an unmissable special exhibition on until April 7th 2024 only that showcases finds from the city and its surrounding villages that covers medieval, Roman and pre Christian periods. A short walk away is the grandiose Fitzwilliam Museum, wowing you with its showstopper of a Victorian mosaic, marble and sculpture entrance hall in a Graeco Roman style and telling the story of the student who bequeathed his whole collection to the University, where we can enjoy the past of a more aesthetic nature. * Programme can be customised
