Adult SEN Groups
Working in partnership with Oxfordshire County Council’s Adult Learning Department, the Museum runs three courses for adults with learning difficulties a year based around natural history topics from rocks, bugs and dinosaurs to learning to draw cartoon animals. The sessions involve handling real museum specimens, short tours of the building and craft activities linked to the topic under investigation. Further information

If you are involved in an adult SEN group and would like to see if we can facilitate a visit, please contact us by email or telephone: 01865 282456.

Volunteering
The Museum is open to visitors of all ages and hosts a busy calendar of events and activities all year round. To assist us we have many excellent volunteers. Our team of volunteers have a great time, receive training, and gain valuable experience in Museum education.

Further information about volunteering at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History or at other Oxford University Museums and Collections.

Café
The Museum now has a beautiful café on the upper gallery. Why not enjoy a break while over-looking the dinosaurs!
