More re closure of Ashmolean


BBC News

Culture-seekers have one day left to visit the UK's oldest public museum - Oxford University's Ashmolean - before it closes its doors for nearly a year.

The 325-year-old visitor attraction will be shut to the public from 23 December for a £61m revamp.

Once refurbished, the museum will have 39 new galleries, a new education centre and Oxford's first rooftop cafe.
