Tensions of Belonging: Connecting Cambridge

Our 'Connections Through Collections' group have co-curated a new display exploring the tensions many local residents experience living in Cambridgeshire today.

Bringing together 20 objects chosen from our collection, Tensions of Belonging explores what happens when local people collaborate in the creation of displays.

This display is a first for the Fitzwilliam Museum. It is a call to action, asking our visitors to tell us what they think about museums. Exploring the tensions that can arise between local people and staff and students of University of Cambridge it also considers wider themes of identity, belonging and the climate crisis.

This display is open until 2 June 2024. Find out more online: https://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/plan...
