New Ashmolean | new vistas

A new stairway looks west down a side street and across St John Street

The new Ashmolean rooftop viewpoint

A roof top terrace looks across to the Randolph hotel; the visitors here use the same gesture as the statue over the main front entrance, shielding their eyes from the sun

At the western end of the roof top terrace there is a small patch of grass

The new Ashmolean museum, Oxford | central stairwell

Some iPhone pictures from the opening day

New Ashmolean | Central stairway/lightwell

The new central light well and stairway is a striking feature, and this Roman (?) statue is perfectly positioned to welcome and guide visitors.

New Ashmolean | Escher remodelled

The layers of stairs remind me of MC Escher’s work.

There is always something to discover
