Dodos and Dark Lanterns : Highlights of Ashmolean History Paperback / softback
by David A. Berry
Paperback / softback
Description
Throughout its history, the Ashmolean has evolved to meet changing needs and reflect new ideas.
In the process, it has transformed from a cabinet of curiosities, representing the world in microcosm, to a museum of art and archaeology, illustrating connections between cultures over time.
This book tells the story of that remarkable transformation.
It shows what the Ashmolean was like at various points in the past and introduces the people who helped to make it the museum it is today.
It looks at the buildings that have housed the Ashmolean and how they have been continually altered and adapted, as well as at the collections and how they have been interpreted and reinterpreted over the centuries.
