Ashmolean Museum
With a National Art Pass you get
The Ashmolean, home to Oxford University's outstanding art and archaeology collections, is not only Britain's oldest public museum, but possibly the oldest museum in the world.
Founded in 1683, what started as a single room of paintings and curiosities grew into an institution of superlatives. It is home to the biggest collection of Raphael drawings; the most significant collection of Anglo-Saxon artefacts apart from the British Museum; and the greatest Chinese collection in the West.
In 2009, the museum's interior was entirely redesigned in a £61 million project that not only doubled the gallery space but fundamentally rethought the way in which the collections were displayed.
