Ashmolean wins the Arts Fund Prize 2010Ulster Museum came a close second (I'd have been happy to see it win). Even happier that the count has now been checked and verified and the wonderful Ashmolean has actually won. http://www.artfundprize.org.uk/2010/vote/poll-results-final.php Many thanks to anyone who voted via the News section on TMA. EDIT: Tuesday 20th July Visited the Ashmolean today and was told that although they won the popular vote the prize was actually awarded by the judges to Ulster. No one seemed to mind as the consensus was that the Ulster Museum is brilliant and deserved to win. Old news really ... but I seemed to have missed it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10464899 |

| Do you know if the british prehistory gallery is open now, June? |
Posted by Rhiannon23rd June 2010ce |
| The European prehistory room (gallery 17) is now open and looks good. It has an interactive lever mechanism to demonstrate how massive stones may have been lifted. I don't think there is a British prehistory gallery as such but I'll check next time I visit. |

| ah no, that's what I meant. I was most disappointed when that was practically the only gallery closed when I went just before christmas! But as you know there's masses more to find interesting of course. |
