History of Science Museum

The History of Science Museum in Broad Street, Oxford, England, holds a leading collection of scientific instruments from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. The museum building is also known as the Old Ashmolean Building to distinguish it from the newer Ashmolean Museum building completed in 1894.

The museum was built in 1683, and it is the world's oldest surviving purpose-built museum.
