About Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum

You can't talk about the history of Oxfordshire without exploring its rich military heritage. The Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum is your key to unlock the past!

Rather than just facts and statistics this museum lets you really explore and understand the people that were involved in the war. Delve into the lives of the soldiers as interactive displays help you learn about the individuals fighting, their families and about them as people.

Open all year round, our permanent exhibitions tell a diverse range of Oxfordshire wartime stories with global significance, with interactive elements and immersive displays.

Engaging, immersive, interactive displays

More than a local military museum, SOFO is a museum that everyone can enjoy, from kids to parents, and to grandparents. We tell stories of how conflict has affected the county and its people, from soldiers serving on the front lines to ordinary people living on the Home Front.

Battles of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry puts you on-board a Horsa Glider as it prepares to land in Normandy in the early hours of D-Day 1944, while our replica Anderson Shelter and Great War Trench dugout let you walk through history. There's also plenty of opportunities to handle and try on real historical clothes and equipment - or even try it on!

Oxfordshire's military museum, telling local stories with global impact

On top of a range of ever-changing displays and events, our permanent exhibits explore topics that you’ll find surprising and moving in equal measure, such as raw accounts of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen from both camp survivors and Oxfordshire soldiers.

Home of Oxfordshire wartime history

SOFO holds a collection of over 3,500 objects and 7,500 archive items from two county regiments, the Queens Own Oxfordshire Hussars (QOOH) and the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. These are our starting point for reflecting on the county’s rich and diverse military heritage.
