The Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology is located in Oxford, England and is part of the University of Oxford. It was founded in 1683, making it the oldest university museum in the world. The museum's collections span art and archaeology from all over the world, with a particular focus on Western art from classical antiquity to the present day.

The museum's collection of ancient Greek and Roman art is especially noteworthy, with artifacts ranging from pottery and sculpture to jewelry and coins. It also holds an extensive collection of European art from the Renaissance to the modern era, including works by Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Pablo Picasso. The museum also has a large collection of Asian art and artifacts, including items from China, Japan, and India.

In addition to its art and archaeological collections, the Ashmolean Museum also has a collection of musical instruments and a collection of prints and drawings. It also has temporary exhibition spaces and hosts a range of events and lectures throughout the year.

The museum underwent a major redevelopment in 2009, which expanded the exhibition space and added new facilities including a rooftop restaurant and a conservation and research center.
