Research
Our collections lie at the heart of a dynamic academic research programme
Oxford University is committed to research that changes the world for the better.
The University's research outputs enhance the lives of millions, solving real-world problems through an extensive network of partnerships and collaborations.
As an Oxford University museum, we believe that exploring connections between science, art, belief and culture through human history leads to the richest advances in knowledge, understanding, innovation and creativity.
That’s why our distinctive, public-facing role embraces:
in-depth research into objects and themes in our collections, including provenance
fresh perspectives and new avenues of understanding through community participatory research
linking the history of scientific discovery with world-class research happening today
drawing together diverse research outputs to explore cultural meeting points and social impact
