29 March 2025, 11:00 - 14:00
Come and have a go at handling some of our museum objects at a hands-on history drop-in session!
Our volunteers will help you to touch, feel and handle objects ranging from Roman pottery to Second World War helmets. You’ll also get to learn about the stories behind the objects and what they can tell us about our city’s amazing past.
Find the hands-on history station in Gallery One of the Museum of Oxford, 11.00-14.00.
This is a free, drop-in session with no need to book.
Please note this activity is subject to volunteer availability.
