While Oxford is recognized worldwide for being a bastion of education and learning, it also attracts numerous visitors who have come for its unique atmosphere as an academic city. Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Harcourt Arboretum, and Radcliffe Camera showcase the intricacies of neo-classical architecture and are just a few of its famous places of interest. One could even argue that many of Oxford’s attractions exist as a product of the pursuit or preservation of knowledge.
