Aphrodite: The Making of a Goddess

Over 200 objects — sculpture, bronzes, gems, terracottas — tracing Aphrodite's journey from her origins as a Cypriot goddess through Greece into Rome, where she became Venus.

It's the Ashmolean's big 2026/27 headline show, so worth booking ahead rather than treating as a drop-in — a proper couple-of-hours date-day-out for anyone who likes their art with a story.
