Discover the highlights of Oxford’s two major art collections with an art historian and Sotheby’s specialist as your guide. Begin at the Ashmolean Museum, the world’s first university museum, where you’ll journey through the history of European art—from the elegance of Ancient Greece to the vibrant brushstrokes of French Impressionism. Along the way, you’ll encounter extraordinary masterpieces such as Uccello's Hunt in the Forest and Monet’s luminous Sunset at Sea. Midway through, pause for a refreshing coffee break at the Ashmolean’s rooftop café, with stunning views over Oxford’s historic skyline.
Afterwards, stroll through Oxford’s charming streets to Christ Church Picture Gallery, part of the iconic Christ Church college. Here, you’ll explore an exceptional collection of mainly Italian paintings and drawings, including Botticelli’s evocative paintings of the Sybils and Verrocchio’s exquisite Head of a Young Woman, a rare Florentine Renaissance treasure. Throughout the experience, you’ll also gain insider knowledge on specialist skills—such as spotting painting restorations and identifying 15th-century paper—making this not just a tour, but a masterclass in appreciating art like a true connoisseur.

Nice museum, well spaced, they have free entrance but encourga donations. I donated buy gettin the map which is 2£. It was walkable and had well structured displays. Also had some interactive ones. Worth a visit if you are in Oxford.
The museum is wonderful. I visited in very limited time. I recommend that you take enough time to get better information because there are many galleries in the museum,from Ancient History to modern art. I recommend that you take enough time to get better information because there are many galleries in the museum. My favourite galleries were Ancient Greek, Roman galleries and painting galleries. The Pissarro gallery, which includes the works of C.Pissarro, V.Gogh and E.Manet, is definitely worth seeing. I hope to travel again. Because it was a very good experience.
I wanted to see the Tradescant collection, from the English settlement period of Virginia, Powhatans mantle specifically. It was an easy day trip from London Paddington station. Ut turned out to be my favorite museum! So many world treasures! Beautiful exhibit designs, lovely lighting. The rich colors compliment the objects and time periods. Labels easy to read. Nice, quick-lunch cafe, big enough to rest a few minutes before going on. More manageable size compared to The British Museum.
I was completely amazed by the sheer number and variety of items in this museum's collection. From ancient pottery to classical paintings, there was so much to discover. The way the museum is divided into different geographical and chronological sections is brilliant—it felt like taking a trip around the world and through the ages. It's an absolute must-see for both tourists and locals. Don't miss it!
Entry to the museum is free. The museum is multi-story (5 floors). It contains artifacts from ancient and modern times and from all past and present civilizations. The museum is enjoyable to spend time in and gain knowledge about past civilizations and take science, knowledge and lessons from them. If you get tired, you can take a break in the museum café located in the basement or the museum restaurant located on the fourth floor. Visiting the museum is enjoyable and culturally rich.
