We went to Oxford by train and walked from the railway station to the museum. I think it's a 15-20min walk from the rail station. I think there is a carpark in front of the museum, but can't say if it's ok to use the carpark or better head for a park and ride.

I don’t know about day trips, I’m afraid, but, coming from Gloucester, you’ll probably find Seacourt Park and Ride the easiest. Very well signposted and easy to use. Alternatively, drive into Oxford and park at Oxpens car park, next to the ice rink (this is what we do). Then just walk into the centre, down broad street and turn left at the bottom to get to the museum. Hope you have a great time!

A:
Park & ride is the best option. Theer ar eseveral P&R, depending from which direction you come (best is from the North, the P&R near the Oxford Parkway railway station). then the bus eaves literaly three minutes from the MUseum. Parking in Oxford (small tow, overcrowded) is very difficult. The new shopping centre has got parking about 15-20 minutes on foot from the Museum with no buses available going there. P&R is by far the best way.
