The Marlay Group was launched in 2003 as a way of establishing a special relationship for those committed individuals
who would like to support the Museum. Charles Brinsley Marlay was a notable collector and benefactor of the Fitzwilliam
whose bequest, received in 1912, comprised both works of art and funding for the Marlay Galleries, which opened in 1924.
The principal objectives of this patrons group, which carries his name, is to generate continuing financial support for the
particular needs of the Museum.
