New York, NY, October 01, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Treasures of Britain: The Ashmolean and The Fitzwilliam Museums on DVD October 26

Kultur is proud to announce the DVD release of The Treasures of Britain: The Ashmolean and The Fitzwilliam Museums. This unique DVD reveals the stories of eight art treasures in the collections at the Ashmolean and the Fitzwilliam Museums in Britain.

The Ashmolean
The Ashmolean Museum is one of the world’s oldest museums.

This entertaining and informative program brings you the fascinating stories of the museum’s most treasured artifacts: Egyptian Pharaoh Taharqa’s temple shrine from Nubia, the beautifully decorated Octopus Jar from the ancient Palace of Minos, Alfred’s jewel, the most precious Anglo Saxon objects in England and Renaissance Artist Paolo Ucello’s “Hunt by Night.”

The Fitzwilliam
Cambridge University’s Fitzwilliam Museum houses a world famous collection of art and antiquities.

This illuminating program presents the museum’s most famous artifacts: a rare 13th Century Gothic manuscript that once belonged to the sister of Louis the IX of France, Titian’s 16th century masterpiece Tarquin and Lucretia, a three thousand year old set of Egyptian coffins made for a high ranking temple official in Thebes, and Degas' haunting picture At the Café.

These two programs provide a compelling insight into the genius of artists and craftsmen whose skills have all too often been lost to the mists of time.
