it’s definitely one of my favorite art museums in the UK, not only for its great collections but also the exhibition designs.
Thoroughly enjoyed our time at this Oxford city centre museum with a large eclectic collection ranging from European Pottery & Porcelain to Egyptian Mummies to local finds of ancient coins. A very spacious basement cafe allowed for safe social distancing. Sorry we booked too late to see the Young Rembrant exhibition but apparently it was superb.
The Ashmolean Museum is the oldest museum in Oxford and also the oldest museum in the UK. The exterior of the museum is a typical classical architectural style, but the interior space is not particularly large, which is also limited by early architectural technology. The exhibits are certainly not comparable to those of the British Museum, but there are also precious items with a long history. Entry to the museum is free.
Free, one of the museums of Oxford University. The collection is rich, with many items from Egypt, China, India and other countries being collected by Solomon. It is the first museum in the UK to be open to the public. Its size is the second largest in the UK, second only to the British Museum, and it is known as a smaller version of the British Museum. There are also some things for children to play in the museum. It is recommended to spend two hours to play, after all, there are many places worth seeing in Oxford University!
It is known as the oldest museum in Europe and the first university museum in the world. The collection is very rich, including sculptures from ancient Rome and Greece, mummies from Egypt, Chinese porcelain, famous paintings from various European countries, etc. It is hard to imagine that the rich exhibits are a university museum, which must not be missed.
My favorite part of this museum is the marble statues on the grounds, and the amazing variety of archaeological finds. The museum is quite large and every Friday night of the month they are open until 10pm to celebrate a different theme such as love, Frida Kahlo, and currently the museum is focusing on the Swing Generation. Very nice.
The magnificent museum is located on the right side of the road from the Cambridge Railway Station to the city's scenic spot, and then you can go to various schools. It is said that this is one of the earliest museums in Europe. The ancient Greek style pillars make the building look very magnificent. Various interior decoration and empty murals are placed along the stairs at the main entrance. All kinds of sculptures and paintings are painted one by one. There are many seats in the showroom. Many people can be seen sitting quietly copying paintings.
