阿什莫林博物館

這絕對是我在英國最喜歡的藝術博物館之一,不僅因爲它的收藏品很棒,而且展覽設計。

Thoroughly enjoyed our time at this Oxford city centre museum with a large eclectic collection ranging from European Pottery & Porcelain to Egyptian Mummies to local finds of ancient coins. A very spacious basement cafe allowed for safe social distancing. Sorry we booked too late to see the Young Rembrant exhibition but apparently it was superb.

阿什莫林博物館，是牛津最古老的博物館，也是英國最古老的博物館，博物館外觀是典型的古典建築風格，內部空間其實並不是特別大，這也是受到早期建築技術的限制，展品方面相比起大英博物館肯定是不可比的，但也有不是歷史悠久的珍貴物品，進入博物館是免費的。

阿什莫利安是牛津大學藝術和考古博物館,成立於1683年。

This is a free museum. There is a donation box at the entrance of the museum, marked with the words 5, which means that visitors are expected to pledge. The museum's map brochure is also marked with the words 1, which requires conscious payment. The museum is known as the second largest museum in Britain besides the British Museum and was originally purely a private collection. Later, after winning the ownership of the collection, the man named Ashmolin presented it to Oxford University. Oxford University established the first university museum in world history in 1683. Today it is the oldest public museum in Britain, and of course the most important of the four university museums in Oxford. The whole museum is a four-storey exhibition hall, with different categories of exhibition hall doors and doors. It's hard not to miss the exhibition hall without maps when visiting this museum. Fortunately, we basically have no definite goal. First, through the corridor of the statue display, we enter the Egyptian exhibition hall, where many of the ancient Egyptian collections are said to be abundant in the British Museum in London. We saw ancient sculptures, whole walls being moved back to the British Empire, and the madness of looting at that time was evident. Of course, it may be because of the plunder of those years that the precious cultural relics of today are well preserved. The mummies stored here are also said to be exquisite and good. Of course, there are many unearthed cultural relics such as pottery. In addition to Egypt, there are India, Greece and the Aegean Sea; in addition to ancient and modern art collections, there are also unearthed cultural relics and folk art. Among the collections from China, besides porcelain, bronze and other cultural relics, there are also large-scale famous paintings, and even cigarette boxes depicting the faces of Peking Opera. There is also a picture written on the wall in 1983, on which are four Chinese characters "Endeavour to Strong", among which the strong characters are "Xinjiang" without earthen characters. Such a painting and calligraphy hanging in such an exotic Museum seems a bit out of line. In addition to collections exhibited according to the age of the country, there are also classified exhibition halls, including coin collection, violin, glass and ceramics, precious metal crafts and other exhibition halls have a wealth of collection exhibits. In the coin collection exhibition hall, we can see the coins of ancient China, as well as the coins of India, Greece, Rome, Islam, Britain and the European Union and many other countries and regions. In the exhibition hall, we are the first to see Indian traditional paintings. Although they are elegant animal paintings, exaggerated brush strokes with coordinated colors still leave some impressions. Unknowingly, after visiting the Ashmolin Museum for three hours, it was just a walking tour. The collection in the museum was really rich.

外面很多羅馬建築風格，幾條大柱十分宏偉壯觀，內部有個小樓梯可以登上Dome高踞觀看牛津大學四周景色

免費，牛津大學的博物館之一。館藏豐富，埃及、中國、印度等國都有很多被索羅其中，是英國最早對公眾開放的博物館。其規模是英國第二，僅次於大英博物館，號稱是縮小版的大英博物館。館內也有一些小朋友玩的。建議遊玩時間兩小時，畢竟牛津大學值得一看的地方很多！
