Radcliffe Camera
The Radcliffe Camera is a domed 18th-century library building on Radcliffe Square in central Oxford, used as a reading room of the Bodleian Library.
Why go
The Radcliffe Camera is a working reading room of the University of Oxford's Bodleian Library; this record is the building, not the Bodleian Library as a whole. The Bodleian's spaces page says it was built between 1737 and 1749 as the Radcliffe Library, named after its benefactor John Radcliffe, and that it became part of the Bodleian in 1861, when it was renamed the Radcliffe Camera. The same page says Bodleian tours are the only way for members of the public to go inside, naming the Radcliffe Camera and City of Oxford Walking Tour and a seasonal After Hours Tour. The walking tour page says tickets must be bought online in advance and that the tour meets on the front steps of the Weston Library, not at the Camera.
