ASHMOLEAN MÜZESİ

There are museums, and then there is the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. This was the first of its kind, in 1683. The first purpose-built place to present a collection of interesting stuff, gathered from all over the world, to the public. Now the Ashmolean is about to reopen after a £61m expansion. So you have the entire 326-year history of a cultural phenomenon in one building. Worth a visit, I think.
