Named after Elias Ashmole, a wealthy antiquary who gifted his private collection to Oxford University. The Ashmolean [Museum] then sprung into existence in 1682 as Britain’s first public museum. Though the collection has evolved considerably since 1682, the founding principle remains: that knowledge of humanity across cultures and across times is important to society.
