The Museum offers a range of learning experiences for different audiences through structured sessions or self-guided visits. From early years children learning about dinosaurs to specialist groups accessing the collections for study, the education team and collections staff can support your visit.
Many of our sessions have been adapted so that they can be delivered as live digital sessions in the classroom. To find out more about our digital sessions and talk to us about how these might be used in your teaching, please contact education@oum.ox.ac.uk
We offer science workshops tailored to the national curriculum as well as art and design sketchbook introductions to the museum, study days and self-guided visits. For all visits, please book in advance.
The seven million specimens in the Museum’s collections are extensively used for research and teaching across the University of Oxford and other higher education institutions.
SEN groups
We welcome visits from SEN groups. We have a considerable experience of working with groups with diverse needs and are happy to tailor our working to suit the requirements of your group.

The aims for the HOPE project include to nurture and enthuse children and young people about natural sciences generally and insects in particular, and to explore how our British Insect collections and expertise could support and enhance science learning in and out of school, building the next generation of scientists.
