fine art gallery One of the country\'s finest museums, the Ashmolean covers all facets of ancient history across the globe up to the medieval period and beyond, along with a fine art collection from the Renaissance to the Pre Raphaelites. The collections are housed in a magnificent neo-classical building by C.S.Cockerell which been recently re-ordered within to create dramatic new gallery spaces. The work is currently continuing with the refurbishment of the Egyptian galleries, and whilst being unable to see these on this occasion was a disappointment I look forward to a more thorough visit when they reopen in late 2011. .ashmolean/\" .ashmolean/
