Enjoyed seeing intricately gorgeous astronomical artefacts such as compendiums, telescopes, astrolabes and globes. If you're a fan of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy you might spot a few alethiometer lookalikes. Don't miss the blackboard featuring an equation written by Einstein - it's displayed downstairs in a fairly low-key manner. The building itself is lovely and really envelops you in the Oxford tradition. Toilets are over the road in the fabulous bookshop, on the third floor. Refreshments were enjoyed in the King's Arms pub diagonally across the road.
博物馆分三层,收藏有从古代到20世纪初的上万件藏品,几乎包括了科学史的所有方面,尤其是天文学仪器如星盘、日晷、象限仪的收藏以及早期的数学工具、光学仪器,与化学、自然哲学和医学相关的装置的收藏非常可观。
另外,这个博物馆还附属有一个科学史方面的图书馆,有不少手稿、照片之类的收藏
