Virtual Tour of the Ashmolean
I was dossing about on the Internet this afternoon, ostensibly - but rather half-heartedly - researching a book review I'm supposed to be writing at the moment, and I came across this. 360 degree panoramas of individual galleries at the Ashmolean that you can navigate around, zooming in and out on anything that catches your eye. You can even get close enough to nearly read individual labels. Go on - have a look. It's fabulous! Rather defeats the object of visiting the museum in person, but as someone not keen on travel, this kind of access suits me down to the ground!
