Beskrivelse
Udforsk den 'ubehagelige' side af Ashmolean Museum. Denne tur fremhæver de omstridte historier inden for museumsrum, og fremmer diskussioner om koloniale oprindelser, netværk til overførsel af genstande og anmodninger om repatriering. Den opfordrer til kritisk tænkning og engagement med Ashmolean Museum, dets samlinger og dens udstillinger. Denne tur dykker ind i de indviklede lag af historie bag udstillingerne, vil give indsigt i de kejserlige forbindelser, der førte til udviklingen af det første offentlige museum i England. Gennem afhøring af etiketter, udstillinger og udstillinger spørger denne tur deltagerne: Hvad er formålet med et museum?

As someone who has lived in Oxford and a member of the Ashmolean and visited many times I found the tour give me a deeper understanding of the museum as did the related tour of the National History tour Alan Jenkins
Thank you so much for your kind comments and for supporting our work, Alan. We are delighted that you enjoyed the tours and were able to connect more deeply with the museums. We hope to see you again in the future on other themed tours.
This was an excellent tour. The tour guide had an open and friendly approach and provided interesting and relevant information. We had a stimulating discussion, which was most enjoyable.
Thank you so much! We're so glad the guide connected with you. Join us again soon!
An interesting and engaging tour with an excellent guide who sparked great conversation in our small group. I recommend to anyone who wants to understand more about how and why some of the exhibits made their way to the museum and the dilemmas facing modern curators.
Thank you so much Judy - join us again soon!
This is a really informative, and engaging, tour. It provides critical insights into the origins, curation, and mission of the museum. Our guide, Devika, did a great job of encouraging reflection and discussion. I would highly recommend it to all.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review; we are delighted that you found the tour and your guide, Devika, enagaging and informative. We hope to see you on another tour in the future.
I know the Ashmolean well, but the guide Jonathan really made it come to life and taught me many new things about the exhibits, the curation of the museum and its history. He was incredibly knowledgeable, but more than that, his love of the subject really came through. The tour was more like a conversation where all views were accepted and discussed. I recommend this tour very highly for anybody who wants to think about museums and the provenance of objects in a different way.
This was the third Uncomfortable Oxford tour I did and it certainly lived up to the other 2! I had been finding myself feeling more conflicted about museums but this tour brought up things I had not considered yet. The tours encourage discussion among participants and this really added to the experience as it was fascinating to see how different people responded to the items we looked at. The tour made me see how much labelling is dedicated to the money - the people who paid for various exhibits are often more prominently labelled than what the item is and where it is from! It was especially interesting to be discussing marble sculptures and casts given the conversation around the Parthenon Marbles was in the news that very week. I will definitely be visiting museums with an even more critical eye in the future. Thanks so much to Charlotte and Georgia for being such great tour guides.
The amazing knowledge of the tour guide...The beautiful way everything was presented. The ambience of the Museum.🌟🌟🌟
This was a very informative and interesting tour. I saw a museum I have been to many times in a completely new light. This is an interactive tour, where the participants were encouraged to discuss the questions raised by the guide, and I found this a really helpful way to engage with some of the more debated elements of the museum and its collection.
A fascinating and intellectually stimulating tour of the Ashmolean. We were a very small group -- just two of us aside from the guide, Anja (who did a great job on her first tour!) -- which allowed for plenty of participation, discussion and friendly debate. This makes you feel much more involved and engaged than you do on a typical tour. A really interesting experience that's made me keen to check out what else Uncomfortable Oxford has to offer.
