I was going to mention the Pitt-Rivers. It truly feels like a museum from a more imperial age, a mish-mash of curiosities in teak and glass cabinets.
I think it’s still mostly curated as it was (although I believe the shrunken tribal heads are no longer on display).

The glass roof refurb made a huge difference and they seem to rotate their large animal skeletons more than they did, which my friend's children are always thrilled with. But it is the subtle bits of the museum I enjoy, the aforementioned roof and things like the fact that on the first floor every 'marble' pillar is actually a made of a different stone (i.e not all marble at all). It's a joyous way to spend an afternoon.
