What To Expect

Join us for an uncomfortable walk through the Ashmolean Museum - the first public museum in England!

This tour highlights the contentious histories inherent in museum spaces, bringing forward discussions about colonial origins, object transferral networks, and requests for repatriation. Through the questioning of labels, displays, and exhibits, this tour asks participants: What is the purpose of a museum?

Our tours are academically researched and led by experts. They incorporate active discussion and ask questions about historical memory, controversial statues and objects, and the impacts of imperialism on the city and university.

ACCESSIBILITY: Fully wheelchair accessible with moments for sitting throughout.
