History of Science Museum shares restoration plans

The History of Science Museum in Oxford has unveiled proposals to refurbish its building.

The Grade I listed structure was completed in 1682 and opened to the public the following year, making it one of the oldest public museum buildings in the world.

The museum opened in its current form in 1924, meaning the proposals coincide with its centenary year.

Oxford University has launched a public consultation into the refurbishment. A spokesperson for the university told the BBC the key aim of the work will be to make the building fully accessible and inclusive.

The plans will be on display until 21 July, with visitors invited to share ideas and suggestions.
