The Museum hosts a varied programme of lectures, discussions and talks aimed at an adult audience. We also work with a wide variety of special interest groups through partnerships and visits.
The Community Outreach Service provides free workshops and programmes for adult community groups, adult learners and family learning groups.
These sessions involve handling real museum specimens, as well as a range of other hands-on activities. The sessions are delivered at your own venue and can be tailored to meet the needs of your group.
We can also provide workshops and guided tours at each of the Oxford University Museums.
The seven million specimens within the Museum’s collections are extensively used for research and teaching within the University of Oxford and other higher education institutions. For more information see our Higher Education page.
Oxfordshire has a rich variety of local wildlife and conservation groups that offer all sorts of opportunities to find out more about local wildlife. The Museum works in partnership with many of these groups. If you are interested in arranging a special interest group visit to the Museum please contact education@oum.ox.ac.uk or 01865 282 451.
