Recenter Map To This Location

The circular dome and building of the Radcliffe Camera is one of the most distinctive Oxford landmarks. The word camera means room. It was built 1737-1749 with £40,000 bequeathed by Dr John Radcliffe. It was intended to house a new library. Originally the library in the Radcliffe Camera held both scientific and general books, but those collections were gradually moved to other University libraries, so that today the Camera functions as the main reading room of the Bodleian Library. While much photographed the Radcliffe Camera is not open to the public.
