MUSEUM

MUSEUM, the 'New Museum,' was built in 1857 to 1860, for the reception of the university medical and natural science collections, and the medical and scientific library of the Radcliffe trustees, and the accommodation of the university teachers in science. Large additions have since been made, particularly in the departments of chemistry, electricity, anatomy, and physiology. A new wing was added in 1887 to receive the remarkable anthropological collection of General Pitt-Rivers.
