The Ashmolean Museum is in which English city?
Ashmolean Museum the various specimens had been moved into new museums, the "Old Ashmolean" building was used as office space for the "Oxford English Dictionary". Since 1924, the building has been established as the Museum of the History of Science, with exhibitions including the scientific instruments given to Oxford University by Lewis Evans (1853–1930), amongst them the world's largest collection of astrolabes. Charles Buller Heberden (1849–1921) left £1,000 (£ as of 2019) to the University, which was used for the Coin Room at the museum. In 2012, the Ashmolean was awarded a grant of $1.1m by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to
Ashmolean Museum collection and had converted the original building into the Examination Rooms. Charles Drury Edward Fortnum (1820–1899) had offered to donate his personal collection of antiques on condition that the museum was put on a sound footing. A donation of £10,000 from Fortnum (£ as of 2019) enabled Evans to build an extension to the University Galleries and move the Ashmolean collection there in 1894. In 1908, the Ashmolean and the University Galleries were combined as the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology. The museum became a depository for some of the important archaeological finds from Evans' excavations in Crete. After
