Ashmolean Public Programmes & Learning

We excel in a number of things @AshmoleanMuseum, such as research, learning, art & archaeology. Definitely, though, one of them is also #howtoparty. More #fun tomorrow at our One World Family Festival. #Children #weekendfun

#AshmoleanAdvent Day 21 - Five Gold Rings ⭐️ In 1905 two exceptional hoards of gold and silver were discovered in the ruins of a small temple at Tukh el-Qaramus. The treasure seems to have been buried in response to an unknown catastrophe in the mid-3rd c. BC.

If you are visiting @Pitt_Rivers over the winter months, don't forget to look up to view a new sculptural installation as you enter! This Community Chandelier was a collaboration between @MultakaOxford and local artists Louisa Johnson and Asma Mahmud Hashmi.

Join us for a family workshop with @aardman, the world famous creators of Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Morph, and create your own @AmazingMorph model. These workshops are aimed at children aged 6+ and will take place 11 Dec. Find out more: ashmolean.org/event/aardman-…
