THE BARLOW COLLECTION 

The Trust is responsible for the Barlow Collection of Chinese Ceramics, Bronzes and Jades which is one of the most significant of its kind in the world. It is housed at the Ashmolean Museum and is regularly open to the public, with about twenty per cent of its total of 450 objects on display at any one time. The Collection has been deposited primarily for use in teaching.
