We offer public lectures, family-friendly events and gallery tours that highlight our collections.

They've got some great exhibits. Atmospheric surroundings. More explanation of how things work would be good, but space is obviously limited. A little gem.

Really interesting, but could be more interactive for the younger folk. One volunteer tried to engage us in a long riddle that I thought would lead us to some really interesting fact. The answer to the riddle was something about an 80s band and I still don't really get how it applied to either History or Science...

The exhibits are a bit crammed as there are a lot and on the other hand there is not enough space. Yet, it is a lovely museum with some interesting exhibits like Einstein's board from his first lecture in Oxford University. Worth the visit

Very interesting, I wish it was not so far from London. So much to see.

My favourite Oxford museum! Fascinating collections and imaginative exhibitions. Space is a little tight (especially when the tourists are out and about) and the disabled access lift seems to be broken more often than not, but so long as you can manage the stairs this Oxford gem promises to show you more about how science USED to be done than you ever thought possible.
