Art in Cambridge
Cambridgeshire
Cambridge holds two of the most loved art destinations in Britain: the Fitzwilliam Museum, with its sweeping collection from antiquity to the present, and Kettle's Yard, Jim Ede's house of modern British art kept exactly as he arranged it - a place that has shaped how a generation of artists thinks about living with art. The university city's colleges, courts and the Backs along the Cam are themselves among the most depicted scenes in England.
Use this guide to find artists based in and around Cambridge - across the city and the South Cambridgeshire villages - alongside the museums, galleries and studios showing their work and the exhibitions on now.
