The Ashmolean Museum Podcast Series

Professor Lee joins a team of prominent academics including Professor Marcus Du Sautoy, Professor Chris Lintott and Professor Sarah Harper all individually unpicking the story behind a single object from the Ashmolean's collection.

Professor Lee discusses the painting Ennui by Walter Richard Sickert, and considers how it inspired Virginia Woolf to write a pamphlet on his work in 1934.

Dr Xa Sturgis, Director of the Ashmolean Museum, said: ‘We hope that these specially curated podcasts, created by some of the University of Oxford's greatest minds, will encourage visitors to seek out their own hidden treasures in the Ashmolean's vast collection.'
