The Arts:The Fitzwilliam Museum
The Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge contains close 
to half a million objects ranging from medieval manuscripts to coins from the Roman occupation. Online exhibits span the breadth of the collection, from "Medieval Manuscripts: Illuminating the Law" to the paintings of J.M.W. Turner. The museum is in the process of creating an online catalogue of its entire collection. Currently, over 120,000 items, a quarter of the museum's total holdings, are available online, including exhibits of drawings by Federico Barocci and "Art for Mailing: Wildlife Stamp Designs by Ian Loe." Information on the museum's educational programs, hours of operation, and upcoming events are also on the site. <http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/>
