Fantastic place. For me specifically, I came to get some research work done. I had reached out to them in advance specifying my needs which required a look into their collections which were not on public display. The response was quick and I was able to set an appointment. When the day came, I was welcomed warmly and immediately granted access to the works I needed to see. It is essential that these works from different cultures are accessible and shared with its indigenous people and I loved the fact that this was done so easily.nnThe rest of the museum was busy as I believe it was on a weekend I visited, but plenty of space for all!
Many items all crammed into one lovely tall building with multiple floors. Descriptions on some items are lacking and the museums attempts to justify some items being removed is rather limp. The Japanese Noh masks are beautiful and the interaction of opening the draws is fun and engaging, take a free still and do some sketching.nPitt rivers is located at the back of the natural history museum.
Incredible museum inside/connected to the Museum of Natural History, there is so much to look at you could spend hours and still miss things. Lots of items had the date they were donated to the museum rather than the date it was made which we would have preferred. Also the third floor was closed when we visited unfortunately. This experience being free is incredible and would highly recommend visiting.
Fascinating for human history lovers and includes an especially rich collection of weaponry from katanas, guns, knives and swords. A lot on ancient boats, instruments, clothing and toys that you could spend hours in there on one part of the museum.
