Oxford Bus and Morris Motors Museums

At the Oxford Bus Museum we tell the story of bus and coach travel around Oxfordshire over the last 130 years. Our exhibits include historic preserved horse-drawn vehicles, buses, coaches and a wide selection of artefacts (bus stops, ticket machines, timetables, posters, staff uniforms) and lots of fantastic photos illustrating our diverse public transport history.

 

Since 2004 we've also been home to the Morris Motors Museum, which charts the story of how these classic British cars and commercial vehicles were produced at Cowley, in the city. Our impressive collection of vintage Morris vehicles represents those produced during William Morris's life.

 

The link between William Morris founder of Morris Motors and buses in Oxford, can be traced to

1913 when he and a partner started the first motorbus service in the city. 2013 was a significant year for us. A double centenary celebration - 100 years of motorbuses in the city of Oxford and

100 years of car manufacture in Cowley.

 

We also have a unique collection of 40 vintage bicycles, including a Penny Farthing. It just wouldn't be Oxford without bikes!
