The Oxford Museum of History of Science is located in an old building completed in 1683, the site of the Ashmore Museum, which was built in 1924, it has a dual mission, both for the study of the history of science and the development of Western culture and collection. The museum is divided into three floors and is attached to a library dealing with the history of science. "It contains thousands of objects from ancient times to the early 20th century, and almost all aspects of the history of science, especially astronomy, such as the astronomical collection of astronomical charts, corona, quadrants, early mathematical tools, optical instruments, and chemistry." The collection of natural philosophy and medical related devices is very impressive.

I have been coming to this museum a lot over the years and this place is full amazing artifacts! I would highly recommend a trip here.
The Natural History Museum of Oxford University is the oldest museum in Oxford and the oldest museum in English-speaking countries. The museum is free and open. Although it is not very large, the entire layout is quite magnificent in classical architecture. It will remind people of Harry here. Porter style, many exhibits in the museum can be touched personally, very special.
The Natural History Museum of Oxford University is a very old natural history museum in the United Kingdom. It is earlier than the Natural History Museum in London. The exterior of the museum is full of Harry Potter style, and the interior is not particularly large, but in the early buildings. The scale is already very large. The museum is free to enter. The interior has a transparent design and is relatively tall. There are many specimens and fossils. Some exhibits such as bear specimens still write "please touch and feel", which is very interactive.
I feel that this is the most worth visiting place in Oxford University. British museums basically do not charge, including this one at Oxford University. Although the scale is not comparable to the Natural History Museum in London, it is basically complete. Entering the door are two bears, not specimens, but models, one black bear and one brown bear. The Nile crocodile specimen in the middle is so beautiful. Then there are many dinosaur skeleton specimens and many pictures, especially suitable for bringing children.
