University of Oxford Vice-Chancellor Irene Tracey meets Xa Sturgis, Director of the Ashmolean Museum, for the latest edition of Fire and Wire. Together they explore a few of the extraordinary objects in his care.

The Ashmolean opened as Britain’s first public museum in 1683. Though the collection has evolved considerably, the founding principle remains: that knowledge of humanity across cultures and across times is important to society. Irene and Xa discuss the value of physical objects to knowledge, and the fruits of the vital, centuries-old link between the university and museum.
