With a maze of glass cabinets containing peculiar items and stacked dinosaur bones, the Pitt Rivers Museum is a fascinating treasure trove of historical items. The museum displays the archaeological and anthropological collections of the University of Oxford. Indeed, many of the staff at the museum teach at the university.

Archaeologist Augustus Pitt Rivers founded the museum in 1884, donating 22,000 of his finds. Today, the collection has grown to over 500,000 items including a striking 37 foot (11 metre) totem pole.

The museum is open 12pm - 4.30pm on Mondays and 10am - 4.30pm Tuesday to Sunday. Entrance is free. You can find more information, here: prm.ox.ac.uk
