Between greatness and pretentiousness - you never know what's coming though so there in lies its charm

Nous avons visité ce musée à l’occasion d’une exposition temporaire. Les salles sont grandes, bien éclairées et la muséographie de qualité. Ne pas hésiter à aller visiter St Peter’s Church, église accolée au musée où vous découvrirez un bénitier tout à fait étonnant !

An absolute gem for art lovers- the house is old and creaky (I think there was an elevator to one floor). It has art that the owner collected during his lifetime and downstairs there are modern art pieces on display. There is a cafe and a small gift shop. Maybe a little ‘add on’ to your Fitzwilliam visit the other side of town. I recommend longer than an hour if you’re interested in art. Get a ticket before you come. Tickets can last for beyond your visit! Staff helpful.
