Spotlight on beauty: gallery trail and prize draw

What is the most beautiful object in the Fitzwilliam Museum? A new gallery trail is giving visitors the chance to discover the personal favourites of Museum staff - and the opportunity to share their own 'beautiful choices' in a prize draw.

The Beauty Walk (available free from the information desks until 6 February) invites the public on a tour of the Museum's galleries to see artworks chosen by members of Museum staff as what they consider the Fitzwilliam's most beautiful object, and why. As part of this trail, the Museum is also challenging visitors to pick their own 'most beautiful object', with the chance to win a £25 gift voucher to spend in the Museum's Courtyard Shop by submitting this choice in the 'Beauty Box' located on the Courtyard Entrance desk.

Closing date for entries into the prize draw is 6 February , and the winner will be notified by 14 February.

The Beauty Walk has been designed in connection with the series of lectures on Beauty organised by Darwin College, Cambridge.
