The Ashmolean Museum is fortunate in having the most comprehensive
British collection of the art of the Indian subcontinent outside
London. Especially strong in sculpture, this rich representation of
Indian art from prehistory to the twentieth century has come about
through the generosity of our benefactors over more than three
centuries. The Museum's first major Indian sculpture acquisition, a
stone Pala-style Vishnu image of the eleventh century, was given in
1686 by Sir William Hedges, a governor of the East India Company in
Bengal. From the late nineteenth century, a substantial core of the
present collection was assembled at the University's former Indian
Institute Museum (1897-1962), precursor of the Department of
Eastern Art, which opened within the Ashmolean in 1963. Since that
date many more Indian objects of all periods have been acquired by
gift, bequest or purchase.
