This article is more than 4 years old

British museums are currently closed due to coronavirus – but you can explore their collections by answering some tricky questions. The first of a series of quizzes is set by the Ashmolean

This quiz is brought to you in collaboration with Art UK, the online home for the UK’s public art collections, showing art from over 3,000 venues and by 45,000 artists.

Today, our questions are set by the Ashmolean Museum. The Ashmolean is the University of Oxford’s museum of art and archaeology. Its world-famous collections range from Egyptian mummies to contemporary art, telling human stories across cultures and time.
