History of Science Museum
The History of Science Museum is a treasure-trove of scientific equipment, located in the very of centre of Oxford – just next to the Sheldonian Theatre on Broad Street. The museum spans a wealth of time periods, ranging all the way from the historical (e.g. astrolabes and sundials) to the modern (including a blackboard used by Albert Einstein) and artefacts are presented both to inspire curiosity and to tell the hidden stories behind scientific innovation. The museum regularly hosts special events and lectures, and younger visitors can take advantage of three ‘family trails’ around the museum.
