The Ashmolean is Oxford University's museum of art and archeology. Its world-famous collections range from Egyptian mummies to modern art, telling human stories across culures and across times.
Admission to the museum is free.
To discover the treasures of the Ashmolean is almost impossible as it's gigantic! You would need days to go it through and see everything!!!
