Open as usual! Althought the Natural History Museum will be closed the Pitt Rivers will still be accessible (and welcoming and fascinating) throughout 2013.One of the UK's foremost anthropological collections, bringing together extraordinary items from all over the world. Full of fascinating artefacts, 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.
