Join us for two weeks of free events celebrating the fascinating world of archaeology. Listen to talks about our collections, hear Tudor music and tales in the galleries, meet divers from the Oxford University Underwater Exploration Group, discover a radical new interpretation of the story of Noah's Ark, and much more at this year's festival.
For 2500 years, Sicily was the place where the great powers of the ancient and medieval eras met and fought. Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and Normans battled for control, with many of their ships sinking off the island's rocky shores.
Discover the extraordinary story of the island at the crossroads of the Mediterranean through spectacular finds rescued from the sea by underwater archaeologists.
Visit our new Exhibition Shop to see our new range of gifts, jewellery, biscuits, books, bags, prints, toys, games and much more, all inspired by Sicily and our summer exhibition.
Join us for a packed day of talks, family activites, and a chance to find out more about underwater archaeology, historical accuracy in computer games, and mysterious sunken cities.
Join us every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon over the summer holidays to explore our treasure trove of star objects and craft some treasures of your own. All activities are free.
Pick up a free Storms, War & Shipwrecks family trail and follow our friendly shipworm around the exhibition. You'll also enjoy plenty of interactives in each gallery. Entry is free for under-12s.
We have partnered with the Phoenix Picturehouse to bring you 3 film screenings in our rooftop restaurant this August. Why not book a table in the Dining Room before the screening begins?
From neo-classical to contemporary, the intimate to the awe-inspiring, the Ashmolean is the perfect event venue to leave you with unique and lasting memories of your celebration.
