Lyra His Dark Materials display also interested me, as fan of Pullman’s work, some costumes from BBC series, could not get close but nice to see. Also more modern stuff on typhoid and history of radio, and photography, think we spend an hour.

However, in general, it was more like a pile of similar things collected together in a show case. This is a pity, because a larger museum and less on display, perhaps just one or two examples of a particular item, along with a good description and history of usage would make a visit much more worthwhile.

Thanks for submitting your review!Manjinder
One of the most iconic objects in the collection is Einstein’s Blackboard that Albert Einstein used on 16 May 1931 in his lectures while visiting the University of Oxford.
The current collection contains around 18,000 objects from antiquity to the early 20th century, representing almost all aspects of the history of science and is used for both academic study and enjoyment by the visiting public. The museum contains a wide range of scientific instruments, such as quadrants, astrolabes, sundials, early mathematical instruments, optical instruments, equipment associated with chemistry, natural philosophy and medicine, and a reference library regarding the history of scientific instruments that includes manuscripts, incunabula, prints and printed ephemera, and early photographic items.
The museum shows the developme...

No loos or cafe, but in centre of Oxford there are plenty of families near by.

However I don’t agree on the fact that if a group is visiting they have to pay an entry fee (albeit small) while for individuals it’s free.
Would have given 5 stars otherwise.

Of special note was the blackboard from Einstein’s second lecture, on 16 May 1931, on which he wrote this theory of relatively – it has never been erased.
