The Fitzwilliam Museum is the principal museum of the University of Cambridge and the largest cultural venue in the region, welcoming around 500,000 visitors a year, it acts as a bridge between the University, the City and the rest of the world, with a vision to ‘open up the past to transform our future’.
The museum holds significant Italian paintings of the 13th to 18th centuries, 18th-early 20th century French and British paintings, Flemish and Dutch paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries, and an internationally renowned collection of Italian, French and British drawings and watercolours.
The Senior Curator: Historic & Modern Paintings will be the Museum’s curatorial and research lead around those collections. You will shape and deliver collections-based research, displays, public programming and curatorial work on these collections to support the Museum’s Vision and Mission, the Research & Impact Strategy and the Business Plan. We particularly encourage approaches that consider the present-day and global relevance of these collections, and how communities connect with these objects and artworks. You will be encouraged to work collaboratively within the Fitzwilliam Museum and across the University of Cambridge.
