About This Museum

People don't just come to the Ashmolean for the art; they come to walk through human history itself, all under one magnificent roof. You can turn a corner from a room of delicate Rembrandt etchings and find yourself face-to-face with the haunting death mask of Oliver Cromwell. It’s this dizzying, wonderful collision of eras and cultures that defines the place. The sheer scope is breathtaking, connecting civilisations from ancient Egypt to modern Britain in a single, sprawling narrative.

Collection Highlights

Don't miss the Alfred Jewel, a stunning Anglo-Saxon artefact, or the serene Messerschmidt 'character heads' that seem to watch you from their plinths. The collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings is also unmissable, glowing with vivid colour.

Architecture & Building

The building itself is a grand neoclassical masterpiece, but its most striking feature is the recent, light-filled extension that adds a stunning modern atrium.
