Museum of Oxford

Inside Town Hall, this compact museum tells the story of Oxford’s people and neighbourhoods beyond the familiar university landmarks of the historic centre.

Why go

The galleries give essential city context, from early settlement to industry and community life. It is a compact indoor stop that helps distinguish the city of Oxford from its university, especially before exploring the surrounding streets and their less visible local histories.

What to look for

  • Objects and interactive displays about local life
  • Stories of Oxford’s communities and industry

Useful to know

  • Enter through Oxford Town Hall on St Aldate’s.
  • The museum is separate from a general Town Hall visit; allow time for its galleries.
