  6. The Ashmolean came into existence in 1682, when the wealthy antiquary Elias Ashmole gifted his collection to the University. It opened as Britain’s first public museum, and the world’s first university museum, in 1683.
    Though the collection has evolved considerably, the founding principle remains: that knowledge of humanity across cultures and across times is important to society.

  11. One of the items in the Ashmolean collection was a stuffed Dodo, the last ever dodo seen in Europe. However, by 1755 the stuffed dodo was so moth-eaten that it was destroyed, except for its head and one claw.

  21. Great exhibition on Colour and the Victorians at the #Ashmolean in Oxford. Who knew that the origin of the #RSPB was a backlash against the use of hummingbirds to create jewellery and accessories?

  35. #MidweekMuseum moves to #Oxford this week and the #Ashmolean #Museum. Oxford isn't short of museums to visit, but if you're going to just see one of them then this is probably the most famous in the city and the one you're most likely to hit. Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Assyrian artifacts will satisfy your deep historical cravings and there is plenty for fans of paintings and objects such as violins and timepieces too.
