The Oxford Museum of Science History is located in an ancient building completed in 1683 and is the site of the Ashmore Museum, which was founded in 1924 and has a dual mission, both for the study of scientific history and for the development of Western culture and collections. The museum is divided into three floors and is attached to a library on the history of science. The collection contains tens of thousands of pieces from ancient times to the beginning of the twentieth century, covering almost all aspects of the history of science, especially astronomy, such as the collection of astroscopes, sundials, quadrant instruments, and early mathematical tools, optical instruments, and chemistry. The collection of natural philosophy and medical-related devices is 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.
This museum in Oxford provides an inside look to the natural history ranging from the dinosaurs up to our animal kingdom, insects and minerals
The Museum of Natural History is a Gothic revival architecture designed by Irish architects Thomas Newman Dean and Benjamin Woodward, whose designs were directly influenced by the literary and art critic John Ruskin, and its collection is also considerable. Add to that Oxford University's scientific status, so it's well worth a visit.
Walking into this free museum, we can see that the museum is a two-storey exhibition hall layout. Tall steel columns expand the atrium space very high. Such Museum structure is rare. The first floor of the atrium is the main floor, and the second floor is the gallery exhibition hall surrounding the atrium. Museum with a large area has very rich exhibits. Oxford University Museum of Natural History is the University Museum of Oxford University collecting and displaying specimens of natural history. Museum exhibits are mainly from donations from others and collected by scientists, including natural history specimens from the Ashmolin Museum. The Museum collects dinosaurs and other fossils. It collects specimens of entomology, geology, mineralogy, petrology and zoology. We first visited the exhibits at the front of the Museum of Nature, specimens of various animals and fossils of skeletons, which were displayed in the exhibition cabinets, exhibition boards and hanging space. There are so many kinds of animals that people can't see. Besides, there are so many birds and animals that we don't know at all. In front of the specimens of these animals, our understanding of them is the level of illiteracy. Many parents come here with children of different sizes. I really envy them for having such an excellent position in natural science education. There is no such position in our youth, nor in our children's youth. I wonder if there will be such a rich and colorful base of popular science education in China when our third generation begins to learn dental language.
It feels like this is the most worthwhile place to visit at Oxford University. Museums in Britain are basically free, including this one at Oxford University. Although not comparable in size to the Natural History Museum in London, it is basically complete. There are two bears in the door, not specimens, but models, a black bear and a brown bear. The specimen of the Nile crocodile in the middle is so beautiful. Then there are many dinosaur skeleton specimens and many pictures, especially suitable for bringing children.
