We had a day out in Oxford on Sunday and were blown away by the super, fantastic, amazing Pitt Rivers Museum.
The Pitt Rivers Museum was founded in 1884 when Lt.-General Pitt Rivers, an influential figure in the development of archaeology and evolutionary anthropology, gave his collection to the University.
It's an eclectic mix of the functional, strange and curious, some 300,000 objects in all.
We thought Izzy was a hoarder but she's no match for Augustus Henry Lane Fox Pitt Rivers!
