Coming to an End - An interactive museum experience
The self-guided Museum Trail takes place from 6-15 November, from 10:00-17:00
This event is part of the Being Human Festival, the UK’s national festival of the humanities, taking place 6-15 November 2025 from 10:00-17:00 Led by the School of Advanced Study, University of London, with generous support from Research England, in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. For further information please see the Being Human Festival page: beinghumanfestival.org

Take part in a self-guided museum trail, hosted at the Ashmolean Museum, exploring issues of death, dying and end-of-life care. Adapted from an innovative, award-winning trail forming part of the Oxford medical curriculum, this activity is co-created by a multidisciplinary team spanning the humanities and medical sciences divisions and including the perspectives of expert patient tutors. You can also attend a one-off public discussion event exploring death across different cultural contexts of a diverse society hosted by our panel of experts, on Friday 14 November from 13:00-14:00.

The self-guided trail can be done between museum hours at your own convenience.
