About Oxford Bus Museum
You’re in for a treat at this wonderful museum, and you get three for the price of one – the Oxford Bus Museum, the Morris Motors Museum and an Historic Cycle Collection.
They are packed with vintage buses and coaches, including an 1881 horse-drawn tram, and some of the world’s first bicycles. And if you’ve ever wondered how Oxfordshire’s streets looked over a century ago, you can explore the extensive photograph collection depicting the county’s road transport history. The Morris Motors Museum charts the history of Lord Nuffield’s empire, from his small bicycle shop, assembling and repairing bicycles through to his world-famous car production line in the 1930s. There are 50 historic cycles on display charting the development of the bicycle from its invention in 1817, including a Penny Farthing – and even some without pedals, brakes or gears.
