Oxford: Ashmolean Museum Guided Tour with Art Historian｜United Kingdom

Explore Oxford's art with an art historian and Sotheby’s specialist. Join your guide on a rich, rewarding, and entertaining journey through the history of European art at the Ashmolean Museum. The Ashmolean Museum is part of Oxford University, and the first museum to be opened to the public in this country, opening the doors of its original building in 1683.

During the experience, you’ll not only be introduced to the history of Western art – you’ll also be introduced to specialist skills, including close up viewing, and spotting painting restorations. You’ll also learn about the history of the museum and its collections.
