On Saturday, the newly-renovated Ashmolean Museum of Art will open its doors once more to the public.
The building, which is the UK's oldest public museum, has had a complete renovation, where all but the Grade I listed Cockerell building has been replaced by new designs created by award-winning architect, London-based RickMather.
Existing gallery space in the museum has been doubled and the redevelopment cost £61m, but the Oxford museum is sure to please the many visitors who are expected to walk through its doors this weekend.
According to the BBC, the project curator of the Ashmolean offered some information about the museum's history. "The museum opened to the public officially in 1683 but its history is traced further back.
"The collection that was its core was compiled by two John Tradescants, father and son. They were gardeners to Charles I, and in the late 1620s John Sr took out a lease on a house in South Lambeth.
"1634 is the first recorded instance of a visitor having seen that material.
"It was really the first instance where a collection of that sort - what would be referred to as a Cabinet of Curiosities - was made accessible to the general public regardless of age, gender or status.
"That is unique to them and one of the things that Ashmole inherited. It became a key foundational element of the Ashmolean when it opened here in Oxford."
The museum is known for its stunning Egypt collections, as well as archaeological materials from around the British Isles.
