These walking tours are run by doctoral students from the University of Oxford and part of the programme of Uncomfortable Oxford tours.
The aim of each tour is to discuss the collections of the Ashmolean with a critical eye - highlighting uncomfortable spaces in the Museum, colonial origins, contentious histories and subject matter.
Through the questioning of labels, displays and exhibits, the tour leader will ask participants to reflect on the purpose of a museum today.
