Abingdon Museum oxford

Starting with cafe in basement, loved that it had a pamphlet on it's history available to read whilst having coffee and cake. Staff very nice. Museum well laid out with very clear information to the exhibits. Loved that they ranged from the Silver to the everyday wooden Trenchers. Had lovely informative chats with the Staff, one of whom was able to recommend a good book for me from their selection ( good selection he just saved me some time). I didn't go on the roof as it was freezing cold ( mind you after Worcester i am banned from most rooftops ;) ) so look forward to doing that on my next visit.

This is a good museum for its size. It had a cafe in the basement and interesting local exhibits. There is even an ichthyosaur skeleton found locally on display and an mg sports car. The view from the top is fine especially if the guide is there to point out local points of interest, such as the original jail and medieval gate. Well worth a visit as the building itself is unique. Also not far from the Thames footpath.

Interactive and interesting, but unfortunately you are not allowed to make pictures inside. There is an amazing view from top, but you have to pay 2 pounds per person for that.

Very interesting museum, with very knowledledgable staff.

Very nice! A good mix of each era and the view from the roof is great.

An amazing museum, spread over several floors in the centre of Abingdon. Abingdon is the oldest town in England & the museum has many varied exhibits, including the last M.G. Sports car, made in the town. Visitors are able to go onto the rooftop, which had amazing views across the town & countryside. Staff are very helpful & informative. Well worth a visit.

The young man and woman were very friendly and knowledgeable about the town and museum. The news that Abingdon has been a settlement since prehistory grounds the mind in a fluctuating reality. It comforts that all this has happened before and will again. What it does not explain however is the tumbling down from heaven of 70's housing onto the flood plain as a biblical punishment for some historical slight of the ancient Abingdon gods. Noddy Holder is now always linked to flooding in the mind. In future days however those same homes (and I wish all them all well) will be listed as Britain's Bland Period. Still, the town is delightful and worth a walk through.

Very friendly and helpful receptionist. An interesting and well laid-out display. Sadly, due to Covid restrictions, only one floor was open to the public. Worth a return visit to see the rest.

Great place to learn a bit about local history. There isn't much in the museum and the displays are a bit limited. But for what it is, it's decent. The top tower wasn't open when I went.

Very peaceful city , since i visit last time 42 years ago . Beautiful as ever . Greetings to pauline Jones 187 South avenue .
