Museum of the History of Science Review
The Ashmolean, the world's oldest public museum, was originally housed in this 1638 building, which now holds scientific and mathematical instruments, from astrolabes to quadrants to medical equipment. Here you'll find Lewis Carroll's camera box and the chalkboard Einstein used in a lecture on the theory of relativity.
