Lots of items had the date they were donated to the museum rather than the date it was made which we would have preferred. Also the third floor was closed when we visited unfortunately. This experience being free is incredible and would highly recommend visiting.

0 You have already voted! Rating:3 Many items all crammed into one lovely tall building with multiple floors. Descriptions on some items are lacking and the museums attempts to justify some items being removed is rather limp. The Japanese Noh masks are beautiful and the interaction of opening the draws is fun and engaging, take a free still and do some sketching.

Everything is tightly packed, in contrast to the Ashmolean and other museums in Oxford. It has a presence similar to that of a Victorian anthropologists back room, with the treasures of his many adventures. A maximalist’s dream museum.

This one is far more densely packed with historical artifacts across cultures and historical periods. They won’t have a single bow and arrow, they’ll have a dozen from different peoples’ in a single cabinet. Really a rich museum

Pitt rivers is located at the back of the natural history museum.

Some of the new plaques displaying the modern academic anti-western guilt and self flagellation are a little tiresome and detract from the overall feel of it, but the collection itself is still fantastic, and a reason to come back time and time again.
I absolutely recommend coming. There is a cabinet for everyone.

It is not like other Museums that I’ve visited, instead of being spacious places, the Pitt Rivers Museum has the display cabinets are tightly packed together and the objects within them, very closely packed.
The variety of exhibits is dizzying in their variety.
A very important change has happened with this museum, there is a recognition that it had been established and presented in a very western centric fashion and that road roughshod over the originating cultures. Additionally the skeletons that had been on display have been removed and in some cases, returned to their originating countries.
We spent a couple of hours in the museum and only really skimmed the surface. We’ll have to go back.
This place is highly recommended.
Make a point of making a donation.

The collection is cooky, interesting and broad. Some may find its eclectic nature to be out of step with modern thinking but that is history. The collection itself is interesting but also provides insight into colonial travel and souvenir/artifact collection from a different age.
So many amazing artifacts. I often found myself wanting a display dedicated to many, many individual items. I love a museum that leaves me wanting more, questioning my preconceived ideas and teaching me something about history and different cultures.
