Have you ever wondered whether you need a bull's head wine pouring vessel for your next dinner party? Let us assure you that you definitely do!
We took a Sistory roadtrip to Oxford in July 2023 and had the pleasure of taking in an excellent exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum - "Labyrinth: Knossos, Myth & Reality".
Here we take you through some of our favourite exhibits, with our usual sensory focus. Head over to Instagram or Twitter to see the accompanying photos, which will help bring everything to life:

If Knossos, Minoans and bull-themed tableware have captured your interest, here are some ideas for further reading...
