One of the UK's foremost anthropological collections, bringing together extraordinary items from all over the world. Full of fascinating items, from totem poles to lace-making equipment to rare instruments, weapons and various miracles of craftsmanship. One of our favourites is a series of intricately-carved, unbroken ivory spheres, nestling inside each other like Russian dolls, the whole thing about the size of a tennis ball. Worth seeing. Entry is through the equally delightful University Museum of Natural History. Both museums are free. Opening hours: Mon 12-4.30pm, Tue-Sun & BH 10am-4.30pm. . Wheelchair friendly. Next events at Pitt Rivers Museum
