Manhole as displayed in place of culture (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ashmolean

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'place of culture' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'manhole as displayed' is the wordplay.
'displayed' indicates an anagram (letters displayed in another way).
'manhole'+'as'='manholeas'
'manholeas' with letters rearranged gives 'ASHMOLEAN'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ashmolean that I've seen before include "Oxford museum" , "Oxford institution" .)
