About this audio guide
This guide to The Story Museum in Oxford stands you in its Pembroke Street courtyard and asks what these walls were first built to hold. It follows a nineteen-thirties telephone exchange, a nineteenth-century master's house and a vanished pub, and a museum that spent years with no building at all. Best heard in the yard, looking up at the south range.
