The History of Science Museum houses an unrivalled collection of early scientific instruments in the world's oldest surviving purpose built museum building, the Old Ashmolean on Broad Street, Oxford.

They are an active public museum, offering a programme of public lectures, family friendly events, gallery tours, table talks and much more, along with taught sessions for schools.
