The
Oxford
University
Museum
of
Natural
History
is
a
must-see
attraction
for
anyone
who
is
interested
in
the
natural
world.
The
museum
is
located
in
a
beautiful
neo-Gothic
building
that
showcases
the
history
and
diversity
of
life
on
Earth.
The
museum
is
open
every
day
from
10:00
to
17:00,
except
for
24,
25,
and
26
December.
The
admission
is
free
and
no
booking
is
required,
unless
you
are
a
group
of
more
than
ten
people.
The
museum
has
a
vast
collection
of
specimens
and
archives
from
various
fields
of
natural
history,
such
as
fossils,
minerals,
birds,
and
butterflies.
You
can
explore
the
museum
at
your
own
pace,
or
join
one
of
the
guided
tours
or
talks
that
are
offered
regularly.
The
museum
also
has
a
range
of
temporary
exhibitions
and
events
that
highlight
current
issues
and
research
related
to
the
natural
environment.
Some
of
the
things
that
we
enjoyed
the
most
during
our
visit
were:
-
The
Museum
of
Climate
Hope
Trail,
a
virtual
safari
that
takes
you
across
Oxford's
gardens,
libraries,
and
museums
to
learn
how
life
and
earth
processes
shape
each
other.
-
The
Fair
Water?
exhibition,
which
examines
the
global
barriers
to
water
equality
and
how
researchers,
communities,
and
policymakers
can
work
together
to
shape
a
fair
water
future.
-
The
Dodo's
Christmas
Family
Trail,
a
festive
trail
around
the
museum
that
features
the
dodo
and
other
extinct
animals.
-
The
Presenting...
case,
which
showcases
a
different
specimen
every
month.
This
month,
we
learned
about
the
many
ways
of
being
a
limpet,
a
type
of
marine
snail
that
has
evolved
independently
over
50
times.
-
The
live
camera
inside
the
museum
tower,
which
reveals
the
nesting
swifts
that
return
to
the
UK
every
spring
from
Africa.
The
museum
staff
were
very
friendly
and
helpful,
and
the
museum
also
has
a
cafe
and
a
shop
that
offer
nature-themed
food
and
gifts.
We
highly
recommend
this
museum
to
anyone
who
loves
nature
and
wants
to
learn
more
about
it.
It
is
a
great
place
to
visit
for
all
ages
and
interests.
