Oxfordshire Museum: Situated at the heart of the historic town of Woodstock, the award-winning redevelopment of Fletcher's House provides a home for the new county museum.
Set in attractive gardens, the new museum celebrates Oxfordshire in all its diversity and features collections of local history, art, archaeology, landscape and wildlife as well as a gallery exploring the county's innovative industries from nuclear power to nanotechnology. Interactive exhibits offer new learning experiences for all ages.
The museum's attractively landscaped gardens are the ideal location for wedding photographs and are also available for hire for birthday parties, christenings and other special occasions. Marquees may be erected on the lower lawn for wedding receptions and other events.
Throughout the summer season the museum gardens provide a tranquil setting for plays, musical events and exhibitions of sculpture by local artists.
The museum welcomes group visits. Gallery talks, lectures and object handling sessions can be organised. Out-of-hours visits may be made by prior arrangement with the curator. To ensure that we provide the best possible service for your group please book in advance.
