Visiting as a Group

The Pitt Rivers Museum welcomes group visitors. Booking is required for organisations/groups of more than ten people visiting on the same day.

We charge a £3.00 admin fee per person for group visits. Some groups, such as higher education institutions, further education colleges, and schools, may be exempt from this charge. Please see below for more information.

We are part of The Great British School Trip powered by Hyundai. Does your school need financial support for a school trip? Click here for more details and how to apply.
