The main bus collection is
housed in a 10,000 sq ft building, extensively refurbished in 2000-2001 thanks
to the generosity of the Heritage Lottery Fund. Other vehicles can now be kept
under cover in the new 8,000 sq ft running shed. Although for reasons of health and safety
unrestricted access to the new workshop building is not possible, there is a
viewing gallery (with a stairlift available) to
enable visitors to see the restoration work being undertaken.
Thanks to generous funding from Leader+, Wren and West
Oxfordshire District Council, the Museum now has a new visitor centre, housing
toilets, a shop for the purchase of books, models and souvenirs, and a meeting
room that also serves as a café. On days
when the Museum is open to the public, the café serves drinks, ice creams and
hot and cold snacks between 10.30 and 4.
Every effort has been made to accommodate visitors with
disabilities. There is a toilet for the
disabled, constructed to the latest specification. While it is not possible to gain wheelchair
access to vintage buses, several can be viewed from elevated platforms. A
wheelchair is available on site.
The Morris Motors exhibition is housed in a purpose-built
building on two levels. A gallery with
extensive collections of photographs and memorabilia overlooks the main ground
floor display area, where the historic Morris vehicles are to be seen. The ground floor is fully accessible, but the
gallery can only be reached by way of the stairs.
