Entrance hall mosaic
#FitzwilliamMuseum #Cambridge
Opened in 1848, the museum was designed by George Basevi based on the temples of ancient Greece & Rome.
Unfortunately, Basevi died in an accident & so the hall decoration was not completed until 1875, under the architect E M Barry.

I took a turn around Cambridge’s Fitzwilliam Museum at the weekend. I went for the Egyptian collections, but the building is an exhibit in itself!

Look closely at my favourite Christmas card: Mary is sitting up in bed, reading, while an exhausted-looking Joseph sits on the floor, holding the baby. No, it’s not a modern meme, but a genuine 15th century image. Happy Christmas to all who celebrate it. #fitzwilliammuseum
