Come and have a go at handling some of our museum objects at a hands-on history drop-in session!

Our volunteers will help you to touch, feel and handle objects ranging from Saxon finds to Fisher-Price phones! You’ll also get to learn about the stories behind the objects and what they can tell us about our city’s amazing past.

Find the hands-on history station in Gallery One of the Museum of Oxford, 11am-3pm. This activity will close for lunch 12.30-1.30pm.

This is a drop-in session with no need to book. Included with museum entry.
