What You Will Do
Join a tour that questions what is 'natural' at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.
The term ‘Natural History’ might lead us to believe that the collections and research at the Museum are purely ‘natural’ and scientifically objective. This tour will challenge your understanding of science and scientific knowledge as we walk you through the main exhibits on a unique guided tour.
Throughout this museum tour, we delve into the intentions and implications of the museum’s collections. By flipping the lens from a ‘natural’ approach to an ‘unnatural’ construction, we explore the historical and ideological underpinnings of natural history museums, revealing a narrative shaped by human influence and selective choice.
