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.
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.
