Ashmolean Museum, Oxford - a photo on Flickriver

Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

Thomas Gainsborough detail
The Ashmolean Museum is Britain's oldest public museum has one of the finest collections of paintings and antiquities outside of London. Hand-held photography is permitted in many of its galleries, these photos are what I've come up with all were taken at a high ISO and are therefore not quite as sharp as I'd do if I had full access. Anyway I hope this set gives people who do not have access to this wonderful museum a taste of some of its riches.

The museum has now re-opened and has expanded, I hope to cover some of the new aspects of the collection in this set.
