The Pitt Rivers Museum is a museum of the University of Oxford, founded in 1884.

It is located in the city of the same name, right next to the Natural History Museum.

The museum, built as a stunning neo-Gothic building, was designed by architects Benjamin Woodward and Thomas Newenham Deane. The Pitt Rivers Museum houses an interesting collection of ethnographic and traditional artifacts that have been collected by the museum's founder, Augustus Pitt Rivers.

At the beginning the collection had about 22,000 objects but over the years it has been enriched up to 500,000 pieces thanks to the donations of other benefactors and even some travelers.

It was Rivers himself who donated the collection to the University of Oxford as he was convinced by the social and educational value of which his memorabilia became symbols. The collection is not displayed randomly, on the contrary it has been arranged according to the wishes of its first owner and follows the history of humanity in a progressive way.
