THE 'ANTINOUS BOY MADE GOD' EXHIBITION AT OXFORD'S ASHMOLEAN MUSEUMBy Priest Martin Campbell

Hopefully many of you are aware that there is currently an exhibition about Antinous at a museum in Oxford, England. 

As the UK priest it was my duty to attend, so I did so yesterday. 

Most, but not all, of the items were plaster-casts of the originals but they were excellent. 

The year 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the UK.

As part of the national celebrations of this the Ashmoleon Museum has put on two exhibitions, one about LGBT history and one about Antinous.

The Antinous, Boy Made God exhibition runs through 24 February 2019.

It is worth seeing if you are in the UK and anywhere near the beautiful city of Oxford. It is housed at the venerable Ashmoleon Museum in the heart of the old city with its magnificent old buildings and universities.

I have taken many photos so that those who cannot attend it will be able to enjoy it (see the pictures below). 

Love and Light
