The Young Friends of the Ashmolean is a special branch of the Friends of the Ashmolean set up to encourage students (both university and schools) and the “young” (twenty-somethings) to develop their interests in art and archaeology. Our membership is diverse and our style is informal. If you are interested in art and archaeology, or are considering a career in museums, the Young Friends is an organization for you.
The Young Friends host a programme of events from October through June, designed to give our members a behind-the-scenes look at the collections and contact with curators and specialists.
Our events include gallery talks on the collections by curators and invited specialists, occasional handling sessions, invitations to private views, talks by Young Friends themselves in the Ashmolean’s galleries and ‘The Oxford Series’ - an introduction to the art and architecture of city and colleges of Oxford. Finally, we host a number of parties each year in the Museum and around Oxford. Please download the document for
