Face to face with a shrunken head!

BA (Hons) in Graphic Design for Print and New Media Students spent an inspirational day in Oxford where they went to the Pitt Rivers Museum and the Oxford Museum of Natural History.

Course Team Leader Celeste Henney comments, “The Pitt Rivers is full of curios which can be discovered by torch. It is free to get in and houses all manner of objects from instruments, shrunken heads and amulets to Egyptian Mummies, which can all be found in a small space and is well worth a visit. Fantastic Buildings and great book shops (such as the Alice Shop, based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland) ensured the trip was both educational and enjoyable.

I’d particularly like to thank to Malcolm Jobling who drove us there and back.”
