Free and easy to find, just off St.Giles, close to the Martyr's Monument, the Ashmolen is one of the most famous museums in England. If you just want pre-Christain history, head straight for Room 29 on the east side of the First Floor. Loads and loads of artefacts from all over Europe, including some local stuff. Several cases are 'in arrangement' and they are obviously (slowly) trying to make it a bit more kiddy friendly, but it doesn't detract from a still fascinating room.
