Ashmolean Museum

The Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology belongs to the University of Oxford and grew from the collection Elias Ashmole gave the university in 1677. Its present building on Beaumont Street was built in 1841–45 and extended in 2009; the galleries range from Egyptian and Greek antiquities to European paintings and Asian art.
