Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaelogy

The Ashmolean is the University of Oxford‘s museum of art and archaeology, founded in 1683. Their world famous collections range from Egyptian mummies to contemporary art, telling human stories across cultures and across time.

The Ashmolean‘s collections are extraordinarily diverse, representing most of the world‘s great civilisations, with objects dating from 8000 BC to the present day. Among many riches they have the world‘s greatest collection of Raphael drawings, the most important collection of Egyptian pre–Dynastic sculpture and ceramics outside Cairo, the only great Minoan collection in Britain, outstanding Anglo–Saxon treasures, and the foremost collection of modern Chinese painting in the Western world.
