OXFORD ASHMOLEAN MUSEUM | OXFORD COLLEGES

Welcome back to my channel - and, if you're new here, take a look at some of my slow living vlogs from the English Countryside: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTtF6KcTPXWhfm9moTNeTxLz-HrkWu0Ft&si=9lCxAXi2vtdIYug2 Oxford has always held a truly special place in my heart—it simply feels like coming home. Having spent so many formative years here studying for both my BA and DPhil at the University of Oxford, walking these historic cobbled streets always brings back a flood of memories and a deep sense of comfort. If you had told my student self that my career as an interiors journalist would one day bring me back here with a filming pass, I never would have believed it. In this behind-the-scenes vlog, I’m taking you along with me on an extraordinary day in the city, including an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the breathtaking Aphrodite exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum: priceless treasures and show stopping works of art. We’ll explore the stunning curation, wander through historic colleges including Magdalen and St Anne's, soak in the timeless architecture, and share some quiet, reflective moments along the way. And if you plan to visit Oxford, I have a hotel recommendation for you - just try to guess what this building used to be. Grab a cosy cup of tea and come wander Oxford with me. ✨ Join the Conversation: Do you have a place that instantly feels like home every time you return? Or have you visited Oxford or the Ashmolean Museum before?
