The Pitt Rivers Museum is the University of Oxford's museum of anthropology and world archaeology.
Founded in 1884 following a gift to the University from General Pitt Rivers it retains its unique period atmosphere with dense displays of artefacts, many in the original wooden display cabinets. As a result, it has often been described as a 'Museum of Museums'.
The Museum offers a changing programme of exhibitions from its reserve collection as well as photography exhibitions and site specific artist installations.
