History of Science Museum
Discover. Connect. Inspire.
See Islamic instruments from the Middle Ages, Einstein's blackboard and the first cultures of the life-saving antibiotic Penicillin under one roof.
This unrivalled collection of early scientific instruments is housed in the world's oldest public purpose-built museum building, the Old Ashmolean.
We offer public lectures, family-friendly events and gallery tours that highlight our collections. For those unable to visit Oxford, a collections database, online versions of exhibitions and stand-alone resources are available at www.hsm.ox.ac.uk
