A visit to Oxford
guarantees a journey into the past. Everywhere you turn
you’ll find historic monuments and museums reminding
you how important Oxford has been in shaping England. There are certain venues such as the Ashmolean Museum [map] , Britain’s first public museum, that are always extremely popular with visitors, as is the University Museum [map] that houses dozens of natural history collections. Then there’s Oxford University [map] itself with its architecturally-stunning buildings including Christ Church College [map] and Magdalen College [map]. There’s a very distinctive creative streak running through the city, and its passion for future thinking has led to the creation of the Museum of Modern Art [map], which was established in 1966 to get away from the culture of stuffy old galleries. This gallery is all about fun and unpretentious education. Theatre-goers will find plenty of great venues where students and stars of the future regularly perform, as well as grand dukes and dames. The band Radiohead played their first gigs in some of the city’s most famous music venues and you’ll find plenty of places to rock out or relax in including the Zodiac [map] on Cowley Road. Clubbers will be spoilt for choice with great nights out from the likes of PoNaNa [map] and the Zodiac [map], which plays host to an award-winning student night. Comedy is covered by the mighty Jongleurs [map] on Hythe Bridge Street and you’ll also find some smaller venues dotted around the city where you can have a relaxing pint and listen to a promising new stand-up.
