Welcome to Britain’s oldest public museum. The museum started with a collection of John Tradescant’s rare archaeological findings and pieces during the 17th century. Elias Ashmole inherited the collection and the museum opened in 1683. Sites include numerous antiquities galleries dating as far back as the Paleolithic and Victorian times. Also be sure to check out the Heberden Coin Room, or the lunch hour visitor’s talks they hold. No Admission.
