Ancient delights at Ashmolean museum
History buffs should surely head to Oxford as their next destination for a short break in the UK as the city is home to the country's oldest museum.

Located on Beaumont Street, the Ashmolean Museum of Art & Archaeology has such a wide range of culture from ancient times to the modern day, cultural artefacts of all kinds are sure to find something for them.

There is the opportunity to take in Roman sculptures, Anglo-Saxon coins and Chinese pottery, not to mention various temporary exhibitions.

Meanwhile, there is a whole host of Western European paintings, drawings and prints with works from artists including Claude Lorrain and Rembrandt van Rijn.

In addition, there is a cafe and gift shop selling souvenirs from candles and eastern ceramics to silk scarves and jewellery.

Visitors craving more culture in the charming city should stop by the Radcliffe Camera, Museum of Oxford and the stunning Bridge of Sighs.
