Museum of Oxford


The Museum of Oxford is the only museum in Oxford to tell the stories of the people who live in the city. We have just opened our brand new Museum and we need your help more than ever.

 We’re on the lookout for people to help us as we welcome people into their Museum of Oxford. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and aim to provide rewarding and enriching experiences for all. We offer flexible commitment to suit your schedule: you decide what you would like to give your time towards.

We offer a range of opportunities both inside the Museum space and outside with the wider community; remotely and in-person; public-facing; and behind-the-scenes.
