I attended this opening as I wanted to see the new space this project has made and to hear about the project. I was impressed at how much material the museum has and see it as a really useful orientation point for newcomers to Oxford City and to tourists alike.The launch celebrated the development of The Old Museum – a unique heritage space dedicated to high quality cultural events and fundraising within the Museum of Oxford. This space will play a key role in the long term capital development project to expand the Museum of Oxford and its community engagement programmes. The City Council has plans for The Old Museum space and at the launch visitors were enjoying live performances from Dancin’ Oxford and Oxford Contemporary Music.
I think the space, pictured, will be a very useful and welcome addition to the City Centre's meeting spaces available for use.

This sounds great but we still don't have an actual museum Oxford's incredible history. What happened to all the exhibits from the Museum of Oxford that got boxed up, stored and forgotten about? If we want to really welcome tourists to Oxford, give them somewhere to understand the city.
