Pitt Rivers Museum

The Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford displays an enormous collection of Artifacts from a vast variety of cultures over many time periods. I have visited the museum twice with my Graphic Design group at college, and with good reason.
The museum is a haven for creative inspiration and is recognised by many as just this.
On my trip to this museum, I learned that the costume design for Star Wars' Darth Vader was heavily influenced by the shape and appearance of the armor worn by ancient samurais, and that the idea for the shop 'Borgin and Burke's' in the Harry Potter film, came from the glass cabinets of the museum itself, which were stacked and stuffed with countless old collected items of interest.

On my visits I understood the significance of the place, being the basis of so many creative successes and I always find inspiration here from simply wondering around, reading and making sketches, here are a selection of photographs I took from my visits.
