Oxford · Opened in 1683 · Art and archeology of several civilizations
Britain's first public museum and the world's first university museum, the Ashmolean connects scientific curiosity, archeology and art history.
Ashmolean was born in 1682 when the antiquary Elias Ashmole donated his collection to the University of Oxford. Inherited largely from the naturalists John Tradescant father and son, it combines manufactured objects, botanical and geological specimens and zoological. The museum opened in 1683 on Broad Street as Britain's first public museum and the world's first university museum. Its founding principle remains encyclopedic: understanding humanity through cultures and the eras, while today re-examining the colonial conditions of certain acquisitions. The paintings of Boudin, Rembrandt and Raphael illustrate the variety of its European collections, from modern beaches to intimate portraits and monumental boxes. The "Ashmolean Museum" selection notably compares A Beach Scene in Trouville - Eugène Boudin and Self-Portrait - Rembrandt. His reading favors color.
At Oxford, the collection was thought of as a tool of public knowledge: objects, works and research had to be seen, compared and discussed.
