Pitt Rivers Museum

This virtual tour of Oxford University's Pitt Rivers Museum is perfect for those who would like a look at one of the locations featured in the current HBO series based on Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Materials." Viewers can browse two floors of the Museum and explore vitrines that contain artifacts such as boat models, textiles, and ceramics. The "Help" button in the lower right corner provides detailed navigation instructions. Readers should be aware that the virtual tour allows users to zoom in on artifacts but does limit the ability to link back to the main Museum website (which is worth a visit, too). Established in 1884, Pitt Rivers is a leading destination for anthropology, ethnography, and archaeology enthusiasts. The Museum is currently undertaking a program of decolonization in recognition of the fact that colonial collecting practices of the period were violent and inequitable. Visitors can learn more about these efforts by following the "Committed to Change" link (under Changes to the Collections on the Collections Overview page of the main Pitt Rivers website).
