And the Ashmolean was actually in the building that is now the History of Science Museum. Natural History then moved to the Clarendon, the big building on Broad Street next to the Bodleian.

This time 2 years ago I had the honour of being on a panel (with this guy) at Ashmolean theatre in Oxford, for occasion of @philippullmanreal.bsky.social receiving Bodley medal. Very special night, but I drank too much and so ruined my book launch event with Pullman next day...will I ever grow up?

Still the most mesmerising, amusing, atmospheric, crazy and exquisite painting: Ucello's 'The Hunt' at the Ashmolean. A narrative focus disappearing into complete darkness; mayhem, adrenalin and joy everywhere else. Wonderful.

I love the way Ancient Egyptians' model animals are appealing rather than fierce and dangerous. Went to the Ashmolean for first time recently and saw a largish gorgeously bashful lion and many other creatures presented as though having an emotional connection with humans rather than being 'Other'.

The scene is carved on the west wall of a shrine built by Taharqo in a temple at Kawa. The temple including the shrine was excavated in the early 20th Century, and whilst much remains in Sudan this shrine was brought back to the Ashmolean Museum where it still is. 🧵2/5

#OTD in 1605: The Lantern the Guy Fawkes was preparing to use to blow up Parliament; now in the Ashmolean Museum. A timely reminder that it was once Catholics who were regarded as an enemy-supporting fifth column in England.
