The collection was impressive, but sadly underserved amongst all the other landmarks in Oxford. Its location was cramped and much more like a slightly bonkers uncles attack crammed with instruments then a museum. Lets hope the exceptional items in this collection see their due and are given more space to shine.

This museum is sort of tucked away, but I loved it. Oxford has a massive collection of unique musical instruments. You can do an audio tour that shows you examples of each instrument being played. So some variations of normal instruments will be played in the context of opera music especially. If you talk to the worker or schedule a time in advance, you can even play the instruments. They have some instruments that belong to famous musicians, and so that made my heart happy when I got that opportunity. I ended up chatting with the woman working at the front desk for over an hour, and it was interesting to hear about her experiences living in London and Oxford, and it really just opened my eyes to the world of England.
