Started by father and son gardeners in the 17th century it has grown over the last three hundred years to become an internationally important museum of art and antiquity. The Ashmolean is not just one of the world's oldest museums, it's also one of the greatest, with collections of art and archaeology from all of the world's major cultures. This includes footage of the largest Minoan Greek art collection outside Greece and the greatest pre-dynastic Egyptian collection outside of Cairo. Get drawn into the bustling 'Hunt in the Forest' by Paul Uccello, with its 'vividly-coloured figures' and 'shouting, blowing horns' - one of the most magical pictures of the 15th century. Wonder at the shrine of Taharqa - a grand political statement, proclaiming to the world that he, Taharqa, had been chosen by the Gods to rule both Egypt and Nubia. Shrink with fear at the legend of the Minotaur and marvel at the Alfred Jewel - the last remaining artifact of the Anglo-Saxon King Alfred's glorious reign - heralding a new age of enlightenment and learning. A fascinatingly educative introduction into the glorious world of art history. Part of 'The Treasures of Britain' series. December 2008. + Informações

Most of the paintings we look at here are from the Combe Bequest. John Everett Millais first came to Oxford in 1846 to visit his half-brother, and met James Wyatt, a picture dealer who had a shop in the High Street. Wyatt commissioned paintings from Millais, and in 1850 he introduced him to Thomas Combe and his wife Martha, who had no children of their own, and virtually adopted him and his young friends, starting with Charles Alston Collins (1828-1873). They stayed at his house -- Millais even spent Christmas with them in 1850, which surprised his own family. In 1851 Holman Hunt spent Christmas there, and in turn became a kind of adopted son. The Combes bought important religious paintings, including Hunt's Light of the World which can be seen in the chapel of Keble College. Combe was known as "the Early Christian" and was a good friend of John Henry Newman.

This clip is taken from 'Ashmolean Museum Creative Wayfinding', a programme now available from NBS Learning Channels www.thenbs.com The programme looks at the newly refurbished Ashmolean Museum which opens to the public in November 2009. The refurbishment includes a new extension which has doubled the museum's usable space but remains hidden behind the original neo-classical facade. Internally, it has radically changed the museum's appearance and how its exhibits are displayed. The separate, subject-specific rooms of the old museum have been replaced by open sided galleries, bridges and glazed displays, providing glimpses of distant objects in other areas of the museum. This is intended to improve visitor wayfinding and highlight connections between different civilizations, as part of the exhibition strategy, Crossing Cultures -- Crossing Time. This programme also outlines the museum's history, considering how the new structure integrates with the old, and explaining how layout and services have been arranged to create greater exhibition space.. + Informações

Treasures from the palace of Aegae in Greece are being shown to the public in Oxford. More than 500 gold, silver and bronze exhibits from a royal tomb have gone on display at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum. They were discovered in the ancient palace of Aegae in Greece. On display is a delicate golden wreath of myrtle flowers. Some of the finds date to the early Iron Age (1000 - 700 BC). Macedonian art specialist, Dr Angeliki Kottaridi, said: "This exhibition is the most important Greek cultural event in many years." The exhibition in the new temporary galleries at the Ashmolean Museum is a collaboration with the Museum of the Royal Tombs at Aegae and the Hellenic Ministry of Culture And Tourism. Dr Christopher Brown, director of the museum said: "It is a tremendous honour for the Ashmolean to be the first place where people can see the latest discoveries from Aegae."

In this episode we take a look at the Martyrs Memorial, The Randolph Hotel, The Asmolean Museum and Mertonstreet/Magpie Lane. I'm almost through all my Oxford material. Maybe I'll make an other episode or maybe this will be the last one. Time will tell. Anyway, I hope all you Morse fans liked my videos. I did my best to produce a series that I myself would like to have watched before I went to Oxford, so hopefully more people feel the same. I think I'll be going back to Oxford next year, if the finances allow, and maybe shoot at some Harry Potter film locations aswell.. + Informações
