Footfall plummets in response to charges

We are alarmed  to report that, through a Freedom of Information request, we have discovered the catastrophic drop in visitor numbers at the Museum of Oxford since the introduction of charging.

Footfall is 70-80% down on 2024/25

Income is 61% lower that the council's projections, or over £53,000 less.

It's clear the Oxford City Council made a huge mistake which it needs to reverse immediately.  We have sent these figures to the Cabinet members responsible and asked them for an update on what they are doing to make our beloved museum free and accessible to all once again.
