With Colin Harrison, Senior Curator of European Art, and Clare Pollard, Curator of Japanese Art
Two of the Ashmolean’s curators will lead exclusive tours of the Museum’s galleries in this evening event.
Join us on a journey through the ages, which will take us from 18th-Century England to the Far East. Learn about the Museum’s superb examples of English portraiture, including Gainsborough and Reynolds and explore the culture of the Japanese, admiring the skills and artistry of their amazing craftsmen.
Explore the techniques and history behind these inspiring exhibits on a dual tour that spans the globe and time.
