On screen

The Ashmolean is included as a carefully labelled Oxford context stop rather than an episode-specific filming claim, useful for a trip built around the city’s museums and detective atmosphere.

Visiting Ashmolean Museum

This is a substantial museum whose collections easily fill half a day. Temporary exhibitions and facilities change with the current programme.
