Interesting interview on the ArtFund website with Tim Knox, the new director of the Fitzwilliam Museum. Hearteningly, it seems that when he arrived in Cambridge, he headed straight for the basement:

[...] it’s like a mini Louvre, as we have paintings as well as antiquities and wonderful Chinese things and even contemporary works – it’s a wonderful change of pace. I’m really startled by the collections and going round the stores I’m astonished by the things which aren’t on display and of course that is going to be one of the challenges in the next few years – how you get more gallery space.

Knox has good form with his successful refurbishment of the Soane Museum. Prepare for exciting things...
