▲▲ ASHMOLEAN MUSEUM OF ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY

In 1683, celebrated antiquary Elias Ashmole insisted his collection of curiosities deserved its own building. Half of his trove originated with an even-more-eccentric royal gardener, John Tradescant, who loved to seek out interesting items while traveling in search of plants. Since its founding, this eclectic museum has expanded its reach across art forms, cultures, and centuries. The vast and exceptionally well-presented collection features everything from antiquities to fine porcelain to paintings by some of the Old Masters.

Cost and Hours: Free but £4 suggested donation, Tue-Sun 10:00-18:00, closed Mon, audioguide-£3, rooftop café, Beaumont Street, tel. 01865/278-000, www.ashmolean.org .
