Passing the History of Science Museum, Oxford

In Oxford city centre, we found ourselves passing the History of Science Museum on Broad Street:

Have just read that this museum houses a big collection of scientific instruments dating back to the Middle Ages and up to the 19th century.

Built in 1683, the Museum is also known as the Old Ashmolean Building to distinguish it from the newer Ashmolean Museum built in 1894, and is the world's oldest, surviving, purpose-built museum.

Next to the History of Science Museum, we saw the equally impressive Clarendon Building:

A University of Oxford place built between 1711 and 1715.

In Oxford city centre, we felt spoilt as highly impressive buildings seemed to be jumping out at us from everywhere.
