Enjoy my pictures from Oxford Botanic Garden, taken a few days ago. I don’t know much about the name of the plants, so this is a mainly-pictures kind of post. The penultimate picture is of a Jewish cemetery in front of the Botanic Garden, dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. The last picture […]
Windsor Castle was on my list of places to visit for a while and we’ve been in Windsor a few times, but never when the castle was open to the visitors. I highly recommend visiting the castle, but also allowing for about 4 hours if you don’t get an audio guide and about 5 if […]
Pendon museum is a lovely place which ‘preserves the idyllic rural scene and transport of the 1920s and 30s in a miniature form for future generations to enjoy’. The models present parts of the English countryside and not a specific place. The amount of details is so impressive. I shared a lot of pictures, so […]
Wheatley mill is a lovely place to see in Oxfordshire. We visited the mill in their last open days of the year. It is worth checking if you are close to Oxford next year. The guides are knowledgeable and the site is well worth seeing. Enjoy the pictures!
Weston Library is a library in Oxford, part of the Bodleian, it is just beside the Sheldonian Theatre and the Science Museum, a couple of minutes from the Bodleian. They have special exhibitions for a few months, that are free for the public. So I love stopping by and seeing them. At the moment there […]
At Modern Art Oxford is a special exhibition: Ruth Asawa – Citizen of the Universe. It is possible to visit before 21 August 2022 and it is so worth seeing it. I was amazed by the beauty of her artwork. Ruth Asawa was born in US. During the Second World War she was one of […]
History of Science Museum is just a few minutes from Bodleian, next to the Sheldonian Theatre. It is free to visit, but they do accept donations, and they also have pretty interesting things in their gift shop. They don’t have tea rooms, but Bodleian’s tea rooms are on the opposite side, so you can have […]
Bodleian Library offers three tours, so make sure you book yours if you are visiting Oxford. It’s really nice and the guide offers plenty of details. Divinity School Sir Thomas Bodley’s Chest Sheldon tapestry map of Gloucestershire, circa 1590 Map of Palestine, late 14th century A survey of the microcosme, Johann Remmelin, London, 1695 Selenographia […]
Pitt Rivers is located in the same building with the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. Here are some pictures from that museum too. Both museums are free to visit. Can be found on Parks Rd, Oxford, OX1 3PW.
I’ve been to Nosebag in Oxford twice. The first, time I went there with the lovely Galina at chezmaximka.blogspot.com. She recommend this place to me and I loved it. That time I had a delicious vegan truffle and I said I’m going to get it again. For my birthday we wanted to get desserts somewhere, […]
