The extraordinary world of bandits, religion and daily life in the backlands of Brazil is brought to life in Heroes and Artists: Popular Art and the Brazilian Imagination, an exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum.

28 August - 21 October Fitzwilliam Museum, Shiba Room

The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has awarded a grant of £5.6 million towards the Fitzwilliam Museum's Courtyard Development. This building project is vital to the Museum, which receives over 250,000 visitors annually, yet has no dedicated education space, no reception or orientation spaces for large groups nor even a public lift.
