The University of Oxford Natural History Museum was founded in 1860.

It is located in the city of the same name in South East England, known by all for its two very prestigious universities.

The museum, which looks like a majestic neo-Gothic building, was designed by architects Benjamin Woodward and Thomas Newenham Deane. The Natural History Museum of the University of Oxford houses an interesting collection divided into four areas of interest: paleontology, where dinosaur skeletons dating back to the Jurassic and about 400,000 fossils are preserved; the area dedicated to zoology with specimens of many animals (arachnids, insects, molluscs, vertebrates); mineralogy and petrology where 30,000 mineral samples and 100,000 stones are preserved, including fragments of meteorites and decorative stones; art and architecture with paintings and works that also tell the history of the museum. Particular interest is addressed to the pre-Raphaelite period.

The museum is particularly suitable for families and children.
