    I took a guided tour of Oxford; my tour guide was Felicity and she was a very knowledgeable and wonderful guide.

    Hands down one of the best museums I have ever visited, cherry on the top is this is a free exhibit.

    We were in this museum for more than 2 hours as there is so much to see from different area.

    Museum is laid out brilliantly, seamlessly moving into different eras of time.

    A good amount of artefacts are from BC times which is hard to wrap your head around!

    A lot of interactive elements also.

    I highly recommend a visit for anyone exploring Oxford.

    You could visit this museum only for the amazing building it is located in. It is so beautiful and with such an amazing historical atmosphere. In addition the displayed items are really interesting, especially the dinosaur skeletons. This place awakens your inner child and curiosity, and it is a great place to visit also without children. Kudos for the free admission.

    Missed the shrunken heads! But a great museum with in-depth examinations of societies from around the world in the UKs realm. Great anatomical specimens for examination with some areas more kid focused. Happy to make a 5£ donation at the door. Friendly staff guiding you to various rooms and floors. Prepare to walk!
