Lovely place to take some time out and have a look around. They have some interesting artifacts. Nice to take the kids to.

This is a wonderful building and contents. The natural history museum is very child friendly and full of interest. The Pitt Rivers collection in building at the back of the natural history museum is full of treasures from all over the world many of then housed in old fashioned glass cases - just like museums used to be! The museums... More

There are excellent displays of dinosaurs and even a stuffed dodo bird, now extinct. The building itself is impressive with some character heads of the university's Dons at the time of building until it was discovered and the stone masons efforts stopped. Currently the main roof is being repaired so the museum has half the exhibits unavailable to view.

If you like geology this building has the most beautiful metamorphic rock columns of any building in Britain! Just check out the thin rock columns all around the dinosaurs; they are the most beautiful rocks the Victorians could find from all over the British Isles, cut and polished to perfection.

Natural History Museum in Oxford is one of the best museums around. It has so much in it from dinosaurs to shrunken heads! It's free to get in and is a great place to visit.

This has been a family favorite since I was a child! It has so much for every age group. At weekends there are free activity packs for the little ones and adults can recall their school classes. Everyone loves the dinosaurs and the rocks that light up in the dark. Look out for the bee hive halfway up the stairs.... More

This museum came up as an attraction on google maps so we thought we'd visit. Parking is not available on site for visitors, department staff only, though there were no signs stating this (we were told by museum staff). We found a parking space easily nearby, priced at £4 for 2 hours. On arrival at the door we were greeted... More
