Comedian, writer, presenter and broadcaster Griff Rhys Jones has lent his support to the Fitzwilliam Museum’s bid for the Gulbenkian Prize for Museum of the Year. Griff - who went to Emmanuel College in the early 1970s - is a frequent visitor to Cambridge and to the Fitzwilliam, of which he is a keen supporter. "If only all towns could have such an accessible cultural treat as the Fitzwilliam," he said. "I head straight there; I love the eclectic collection of collections. The obsessions of personal choice keep popping up and I always find something new to appreciate."
