Heracles to Alexander the Great: Treasures from the Royal Capital of Macedon, A Hellenic Kingdom in the Age of Democracy, (Oxford's Ashmolean Museum)

More than 500 gold, silver and bronze exhibits from a royal tomb were displayed at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum.

They were discovered in the ancient palace of Aegae in Macedonia, Greece.

Macedonian art specialist, Dr Angeliki Kottaridi, said: "This exhibition is the most important Greek cultural event in many years."

Dr Christopher Brown, director of the museum said: "It is a tremendous honour for the Ashmolean to be the first place where people can see the latest discoveries from Aegae."
