More than a local military museum, SOFO is a museum that everyone can enjoy, from kids to parents, and 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. Our permanent exhibits explore topics that you’ll find surprising and moving in equal measure, such as the story of the Oxfordshire Yeomanry and liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. 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 Secret Agents, Secret Armies explores the real world of spies and espionage through the lens of Ian Fleming and James Bond. Walk through our Great War trench display and Second World War Air Raid Shelter and step into history with sights, sounds and smells of the past.
