Oxford is full of museums. It is sad how much you can live in a place and not see it. We have the good fortune to live in a lot of places, but apart from Kobe (where, ironically, there isn't all that much to see anyway, and what is there is less than impressive on an international scale), we only get to see the basics.
Partly by chance, we've had a bit more time recently, so we went to the Ashmolean Museum and the Oxford Science Museum on consecutive days. Both are free. Both are superb, although the Science museum is tiny and the Ashmolean itself is only medium sized as museums go. The Ashmolean is amazing. There is so much to see and it's all excellently referenced and explained. The artwork is great, but the best bits are the historical (I suppose 'archeological' would be more accurate for most) things. There is a lot of really, really cool stuff there. We plan to go back before we leave.
