In 2000, the Chinese Picture Gallery, designed by van Heyningen and Haward Architects, opened at the entrance of the Ashmolean and is partly integrated into the structure. |
The Ruskin remained at the Ashmolean until 1975 when it moved to 74 High Street. |
The Ashmolean Museum, founded in 1683, is the oldest museum in the UK, and the oldest university museum in the world. |
There are good examples of English delftware in the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Museum, the Ashmolean Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum. |
On 26 November 2011, the Ashmolean opened to the public the new galleries of Ancient Egypt and Nubia. |
The interior of the Ashmolean has been extensively modernised in recent years and now includes a restaurant and large gift shop. |
