Ashmolean Revamp Features Collins Geo Mapping

Over 20,000 people visited the revamped Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology in Oxford over the first weekend after re-opening on Sat 7 Nov following a multi-million pound redevelopment.

Three of the new thirty-nine galleries will feature mapping created by us. The West Meets East, Ancient Crossroads, and Ancient World galleries form a special group called the ‘Orientation Galleries’. In each gallery there is a 1400mm wide map showing the focus subject, e.g. trade routes, the location of ancient cities, or navigation routes in the Age of Discovery. There are also high level maps in each gallery which are over 6m wide.
