Lonely Planet review for Ashmolean Museum
The Ashmolean Museum, which opened in 1683 and is Britain’s oldest, houses a stunning collection of antiquities as well as European and British art (Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Turner, Picasso etc). The museum was closed at the time of research while a stunning new building, designed by architect Rick Mather, was being completed to replace all but the original Cockerell Building (1845). It will provide some 39 new galleries and 100% more display space than the former building.
