About Oxford University Museum of Natural History

The Oxford University Museum of Natural History is on Parks Road in Oxford and displays many of the University of Oxford's natural history specimens. It is an indoor attraction that brings the university's scientific collections to the public, making it a rewarding stop for families and curious visitors alike.

The building also contains a lecture theatre used by the university's chemistry, zoology and mathematics departments, so it remains a working part of the university. It provides the only public access into the adjoining Pitt Rivers Museum, meaning visitors can explore both collections in a single trip.
