Although Oxford is known for its prestigious university, it's also home to several excellent museums.

One is the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, established in 1860. The beautiful Neo-Gothic building was designed in the Pre-Raphaelite style and incorporates branches and leaves in its decorations, along with statues of famous scientists. The exhibits comprise rocks and minerals, a zoological section with over 5 million insects, and the archives department.

Highlights include the 4.5 billion year old Nantan meteorite and the remains of a flightless Dodo bird. There is a gift shop and cafe, and the OUMNH offers lectures, workshops and guided tours.
