The Pitt Rivers Museum is working towards becoming a welcoming space to all where stories are shared by many voices. In order to do this it needs to address its own colonial history as part of the University of Oxford and its role in the development of a form of museum anthropology informed by evolutionary racism.

The Pitt Rivers Museum is working towards becoming a welcoming space to all where stories are shared by many voices. In order to do this it needs to address its own colonial history as part of the University of Oxford and its role in the development of a form of museum anthropology informed by evolutionary racism. By working collaboratively and creatively with staff, volunteers, and communities we are transforming how our iconic collections are engaged with, both online and in the museum. In an increasingly disconnected world, we want to inspire empathy and deepen cross-cultural understanding.
