For Art lovers Oxford boasts some amazing museums including The Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology which has many Pre-Raphaelite paintings. You will also find on display old English Silver, Greek and Minoan pottery and antiques from as far away as Egypt. Another point of interest is the circular dome and drum of the Radcliffe Camera which is one of Oxfords most inspiring landmarks, build in the eighteenth century as a library, it is now part of the Bodleian library. The Sheldon Theatre built in 1667 and built by Sir Christopher Wren who at the time was a Professor at Oxford university and the purpose of the design was to mimic a Roman Theatre.
