Day in Oxford

Going Oxford is quite exciting to me as it is a place that filmed many movies, such as Harry Potter.

First we went to the PittRivers Museum, by passing through the Museum of Natural History that we got a glance of those "dinosaurs" and glowing stones.
The environment inside the PittRivers Museum is very interesting: dark with dim light(I think this is the reason why taking photos with flash light is allowed.); one way up and one way down; looking down from the first and the second floor, you can see the collections inside each glass and metal box, at the same time the metal part of the box itself give great visual impact. The colour black did a great job here.

We have to draw something in our sketchbook. 

In the afternoon we headed off to the Ashmolean. No offence, but personally, most of the collections are not my cup of tea. The Ashmolean is just like a smaller scale of V&A(London) or Rijksmuseum(Amsterdam) to me. A surprise is that there are some paper cutting art work by a Hong Kong born artist Bovey Lee. It is rare to see displays of art works done by Hong Kong artist in museums(or it is just me haven't explore much museums, haha. Anyway, yeah, HK.) I will definitely check out her work. 

Last, we went to the lovely Covered Market and paid one pound(student price, normal adult price is two pound) for visiting the Balliol College, University if Oxford. The college is smaller than I thought, but it looks very Oxford(of course). Most of the time I was imagining myself in Harry Potter, One Day, The Theory of Everything or whatever movie that take place in "Oxford". Busy me.

The Hall in my eyes: table lamps. 

I wish I can visit Oxford again someday and explore more. Only one day is NOT enough for Oxford.
