2017: A Remarkable Year at the Ashmolean Museum

2017 was a remarkable year for the University of Oxford's museum of art and archaeology, the Ashmolean Museum. The 400th anniversary of the birth of our founder – Elias Ashmole – the year saw a spectacular new gallery to house the founding collections; a game-changing and award-winning Raphael exhibition; two exceptional acquisitions; record visitor numbers; huge public
events; and much more.
