Oxford is blessed with one of the finest collections of museums in the country so there is a good opportunity to combine visits with a walk around the city.
As well as museums, there is also the world-renowned Bodleian Library, with its Weston Library in Broad Street, and other cultural attractions like Christ Church Picture Gallery and Oxford Castle and Prison.
There would not be time to do them all justice by visiting them in one day, so you will need to divide them up so you can walk between the destinations on a number of different visits.

It makes sense to start at the biggest city museum, the Ashmolean, in Beaumont Street, before moving onto the other major museums around the city centre.
These are: Modern Art Oxford, and The Story Museum, both in Pembroke Street, The Museum of Oxford at the town hall in St Aldate’s, The History of Science Museum in Broad Street, and The Museum of Natural History and Pitt Rivers Museum in Parks Road.
Like other attractions, museums were forced to close during the coronavirus lockdowns of 2020 but were able to fully reopen after easing of restrictions.
While the pandemic has caused major disruption, it has not halted new investment.
In October 2020, two years after it closed for a £6m renovation, the Story Museum reopened its doors.
The museum had been due to reopen in April 2020 but the national lockdown meant that its brand new chapter had to be put on hold.
Following further interruptions causes by the pandemic, it reopened again in May.

There has also been invested at The Museum of Oxford.
Last month, following a two-year break, it reopened at the town hall following a £2.8m refurbishment.
It has been given a new look with fresh displays of objects, pictures oral histories and interactive exhibits, and is the only city attraction dedicated to telling the history of Oxford and its people.
A major digitisation project has been taking place at The Museum of Natural History.
Just over a third of the university museum’s collections - 27 million specimens - will move to a new state-of-the-art research facility at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus. The new centre aims to help ensure the collections and the vast data contained in them are safe, accessible and digitally available for researchers all over the world, strengthening the UK’s position in tackling global challenges including climate change, biodiversity loss and emerging diseases.

The Ashmolean Museum’s current show, Tokyo: Art & Photography, is an exploration of Japan’s capital city through the arts it has generated over 400 years. It runs until January.
The Ashmolean has a cafe and rooftop restaurant and refreshments are also available at some other city museums.
