Oxford is singularly blessed with museums. We have a superb natural history museum (John Ruskin used to make a special trip daily just to admire the building) and world class art and anthropology centres in the Ashmolean and the Pitt Rivers respectively. We also have challenging cutting edge collections in Modern Art Oxford and independent galleries such as the O3, and an exciting original project at the Story Museum.
