Teaching and learning

During 2013 the Museum is closed to the public and school groups while essential roof repair work is completed. The adjoining Pitt Rivers Museum of anthropology and archaeology remains open throughout.

Our Education service continues with an expanded and targeted outreach programme, reaching primary, secondary and special educational needs (SEN) audiences across the region. For more information about what we are doing see the Schools and teachers section.

To contact the Education team please email education@oum.ox.ac.uk

Behind-the-scenes tours for adults are running during the closure. For more information about this and other special Study Days see What’s on.

Don’t forget to visit the Learning Zone, our range of online educational resources designed for Key Stage 2 upwards. In the Learning Zone you will find information about the Museum’s collections on a wide range of topics. There are also games, trails, and art and craft resources.

Learning More provides resources for older students, researchers and life-long learners, including scientific articles on aspects of the collections, online displays, and biographies of our most famous collectors.
