Luggage storagePitt Rivers Museum

The Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, United Kingdom, began with the collection of Victorian archaeologist and anthropologist Augustus Pitt Rivers, who donated thousands of objects to the University of Oxford in the late 19th century. Housed next to the University Museum of Natural History, the museum is famous for its densely packed, typological displays that reflect Pitt Rivers’ 19th‑century approach to comparing everyday and ritual objects from around the world.

Visitors come for the extraordinary range of artefacts—from masks, musical instruments and tools to sacred and domestic items—that offer a global view of human creativity and cultural practice. The museum is a key resource for students, researchers and families, valued both for its educational exhibitions and for prompting conversations about cultural history, colonial collecting and conservation. Admission is typically free, making it an accessible stop when exploring Oxford’s museum quarter.
