Ashmolean Late Nights

On the 6th May 2011 the Ashmolean Museum Oxford will for the first time ever open its doors to the night and invite the Notting Hill Arts Club to host a party in its vaults.

The Ashmolean Museum is Britain’s oldest museum and as part of the Oxford University holds a position as one of the most important collections in the country. The original building was built in 1683 and as such has great presence and atmosphere; recently the Museum was given new life with the addition of a stunning new wing and a sunny rooftop restaurant. For the first time this beautiful building will host live music performance and art.

At the Ashmolean Late Night event the museum will reopen its doors at 6:30pm. The public are invited to view its main collection for free but with the Oxford Playhouse curating a live performance encompassing music song and dance in and amongst the ancient ruins of Greece and Rome. The rooftop restaurant will be transformed into a bar with DJ and visitors will be able to view the stunning HERCULES to ALEXANDER archeology exhibit at a concession entry price. At 10pm the doors to the downstairs vault will be opened and a lucky 300 will party the night away with the Notting Hill Arts Club.

The Notting Hill Arts Club is a small venue in west London dedicated to providing quality music and art to a discerning audience. For the Ashmolean Late Nights event the Arts Club will call on its friends from Oxford and London to provide a fitting end to a memorable event in a historic setting.
