Oxford's culture thrives in spaces like the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, which hosts exhibitions across Carfax, St Giles and South Park. The Sheldonian Theatre continues its academic legacy with lectures and concerts. Pop-ups happen regularly on Broad Street or near landmarks such as Tom Tower.
