With Oxfordshire poets
The Ashmolean welcomes back old friends, and new ones as well to our series of poetry tours that in 2024.
Poets from Oxford and surrounding areas will explore and celebrate the Museum’s pieces, renowned or recherche, intriguing or glorious.
On this tour in May, our poet speakers will focus on the artists and exhibits in the Ashmolean NOW exhibition of works by contemporary artist Pio Abad.

Poems will be recited next to the objects and artworks that inspired the poets. If you want to talk to the poets, most of us are friendly!
