Though the Museum is currently closed, we plan to bring the Ashmolean to your homes around the world. Scroll down for some ways you can enjoy the collections and stay in touch.
The Ashmolean is the University of Oxford’s museum of art and archaeology, founded in 1683. Our world famous collections range from Egyptian mummies to contemporary art, telling human stories across cultures and across time.
Cai Guo-Qiang talks to us about his exhibition and how gunpowder influenced his work.
The free exhibition 'Cai Guo-Qiang: Gunpowder Art' is open until 11 April 2020 in Gallery 11 on the Ground Floor.
