Staircase
In the new part of the Ashmoleum Museum, Oxford.
I consider myself very lucky to live within easy travelling distance of many world class museums and galleries, all of which I can use for free.
Several of these are in Oxford, and it was with some trepidation that I went there today to see two such which had recently opened after modernisation.
I went to both the Pitt Rivers Museum and the Ashmolean, and both had been sensitively brought up to date without compromising on their high standards.
The staircase in the Ashmolean was especially striking. It reminded me of the medieval paintings of souls ascending and descending the stairway to heaven and hell. I took many pictures of this and I am sure that I will be using them in future work.
