Curator Tour of the Money Talks Exhibition

An exclusive tour for Members of the Ashmolean
Booking is essential

Join curator Shailendra Bhandare (Ashmolean Curator of South Asian and Far-Eastern Coins and Paper Money) for a private after-hours tour of our new exhibition, Money Talks: Art, Society & Power, exploring the place of money in our world through different artistic lenses and the way currency and art come together in design and culture to promote or challenge our views.

This small, group tour is a wonderful opportunity to discover the stories behind the over 100 objects on display. These include artworks from Rembrandt to Warhol, as well as Roman, Chinese and Islamic coins, Art Nouveau banknotes, and the artwork for the currency featuring Kings Edward VIII and Charles III, on display for the first time.

Shailendra will share his reflections on the intersections between money and art and the way artists have long explored and commented upon the balance between power and wealth through using money artistically in novel ways.
