About Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum
Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum is a military museum in Woodstock, located in the grounds of The Oxfordshire Museum and Woodstock Library, just on the doorstep of Blenheim Palace. It first opened in the summer of 2014 and is the county's only military museum. The museum tells stories of how conflict has affected Oxfordshire and its people, from soldiers serving on the front lines to ordinary people living on the Home Front. Permanent exhibits explore topics including raw accounts of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen from both camp survivors and Oxfordshire soldiers. A range of ever-changing exhibitions and events runs alongside the permanent displays, and the museum has worked with national and international partners to bring military stories to life. The reserve collection is showcased in the Cloister Gallery, and the Evelegh Gallery presents specialised exhibitions. Visitors can enjoy family trails and dressing up, and the museum offers learning programs, online talks, research facilities, a shop, and room hire. The museum is run by the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Trust, a registered charity.
