The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford is hosting an exhibition titled "Afrodite, la bellezza dai mille volti" (Aphrodite, beauty with a thousand faces), on view until 11 April 2027. The show explores the many guises of the Greek goddess Aphrodite, whose image and symbolism have been reinterpreted across centuries and cultures. The exhibition is presented at the Ashmolean, one of the oldest public museums in the world and part of the University of Oxford. The Italian art news outlet ARTE.it reported on the exhibition, noting its extended run through spring 2027. The title suggests a focus on the multiplicity of beauty associated with Aphrodite, from classical antiquity to later artistic traditions. The Ashmolean's collections, which span archaeology and fine art, provide the context for an exhibition dedicated to one of antiquity's most enduring figures. The show is scheduled to remain open for more than a year, offering visitors an extended opportunity to engage with the theme. No further details about specific works, curators, or loans were included in the source material.
