Project Overview
The Ashmolean Museum first opened it’s doors in 1683, and has become one of the country’s most significant museums displaying unique collections and producing research and publications as a department of the University of Oxford. Attracting over 360 thousand visitors annually and housing many important collections, it was high time that the Museum looked to secure it’s position as one of the most important national museums. They turned to the award winning Rick Mather Architects to provide an architecturally sympathetic extension to expand and renovate not only it’s display areas but also to provide room for education and conservation. Network reliability, security services, telephones and exhibition presentational equipment were highly important aspects for the museum to consider, for the effective day to day operations of the museum.
