SUMMARY:Kabuki Legends: Part Two
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki Legends: Part Two. Image: Dancing Cranes by Takahashi Hiromitsu\, 2017 © Hiromitsu Takahashi / The Tolman Collection\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Kabuki Legends: Part Two\n\n\n\nStencil Prints by Takahashi Hiromitsu \n\n\n\nJapanese artist Takahashi Hiromitsu creates dynamic\, colourful prints showing exciting moments in kabuki\, a traditional form of dance-drama. This is the second show in a two-part exhibition of his works in Gallery 29. \n\n\n\nHiromitsu’s striking designs are not portraits of actual actors\, but visualisations of famous kabuki roles. \n\n\n\nIn kabuki\, performers wearing elaborate costumes and make-up use stylised movement and song to enact melodramatic stories about love\, loyalty and the clash between duty and emotion. \n\n\n\nThe works recall Japan’s traditional ukiyo-e woodblock actor prints\, but are made using a different technique – kappazuri\, or stencil printing\, originally used for dyeing kimono. This process is complex and labour-intensive\, and Hiromitsu is one of very few artists working in this way today. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition showcases a second selection of these unusual prints from the Ashmolean’s own extensive collection of Hiromitsu’s work\, generously presented by Philip Harris. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:Admission is FREE \n\n\n\nDate and times:From 16 February 2024 to 23 February 2025 \n\n\n\nThe museum is open every day from 10.00am to 5.00pm \n\n\n\nLocation:Gallery 29 \n\n\n\nWatch the Kabuki Legends: Part One video

SUMMARY:Breaking Ground
DESCRIPTION:Breaking Ground Exhibition at Oxford University Museum of Natural History. Image: Watercolour by Mary Buckland (nee Morland)\, possibly painted in 1817\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Breaking Ground\n\n\n\nFrom the first-ever scientific description of a dinosaur to the revelation that Earth is much older than the Biblical 6\,000 years\, the 19th century saw a network of naturalists forge new ways of thinking about the history of life and our planet. \n\n\n\nBreaking Ground is a new exhibition at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History that charts these significant developments in palaeontology and geology through a cast of characters – both the celebrated and the unsung – who helped to establish new scientific methods and ideas. \n\n\n\nCentred on an Oxford couple – William Buckland\, geologist and palaeontologist\, and Mary Buckland (née Morland)\, a scientific illustrator\, it explores some of the most historically important dinosaur discoveries ever made. \n\n\n\nMarking the 200th anniversary of the first description of a dinosaur\, Breaking Ground presents fossil material from the first three dinosaurs to be scientifically named – Megalosaurus\, Iguanodon\, and Hylaeosaurus\, including the iconic jaw that started it all. \n\n\n\nAlongside these historic specimens are more than 100 other objects\, including fossils\, skeletons\, casts\, and models. There is also archival material such as lithograph prints and watercolour paintings beautifully documenting the fieldwork\, landscapes\, and discoveries made during this fertile period of early palaeontology. \n\n\n\nWhile celebrating these important scientific developments\, Breaking Ground also investigates some inequalities of the period. William and Mary Buckland were married in 1825 and worked together to lay the foundations of modern palaeontology\, though history tends to remember their contributions differently. \n\n\n\nFamiliar names from 19th-century palaeontology are typically those of powerful people associated with certain institutions and publications; lost to history are workers in other\, often colonised\, countries who dug for specimens\, lower-status miners and quarriers around the UK\, and most women\, regardless of class or wealth. \n\n\n\nThese include Mary Anning\, who\, though more recently celebrated\, faced financial struggles for most of her life and\, as a woman\, was unable to join the Geological Society of London or present her own ideas. This is despite making some of the most important fossil discoveries of the century\, several of which will be on display in the exhibition. \n\n\n\nBreaking Ground will also offer the first showcase of items from the newly acquired Buckland archive. The drawings\, prints and paintings made by Mary Buckland include those used in the description of Megalosaurus by William Buckland in 1824. \n\n\n\nAs these illustrations helped to spread understanding of extinct groups of animals and plants among the 19th-century scientific community\, they challenged any literal interpretations of the Bible. A much older planet was revealed\, one that had undergone periods of glaciation – a controversial idea at the time – and in which hyaenas once populated the caves of Britain. \n\n\n\nComplementing the exhibition is a sculptural installation by British artist Angela Palmer. Torus of Time is a visual and tactile symbol of the deep time that was being uncovered by these pioneering 19th-century palaeontologists. An elegant ring of 16 quarry stones drawn from across the United Kingdom\, the piece represents three billion years of geological time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:Entry to the Museum is FREE and not ticketed. No booking required.Booking is required for organisations/groups of more than ten people visiting on the same day. \n\n\n\nOpening hours:Monday to Sunday from 10.00am to 5.00pmLast entry at 4.45pmClosed on 24\, 25\, & 26 DecemberAccessibility:Please contact the friendly team at the museum by telephone (01865 272 950) or email (foh@oum.ox.ac.uk) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGallery\n\n\n\nClick images to expand with captions \n\n\n\n\nCave Hyaena Jaw. This hyaena jaw was found by William Buckland in Kirkdale cave in North Yorkshire in the 1820s. He initially thought the fossil showed evidence of the Great Flood having transported the animal to England. However\, further analysis showed the cave to have been a hyaena den from the Late Pleistocene\, 120\,000 years ago\, when Yorkshire would have been a lot warmer.\n\n\n\nHippopotamus. This watercolour by Mary Buckland (nee Morland)\, possibly painted in 1817\, is marked ‘MM’ – one of the few drawings signed with Mary’s maiden name. Morland was a gifted scientific illustrator whose drawings were used in scientific publications for William Buckland and others including Georges Cuvier.\n\n\n\nIchthyosaur with stomach contents. Exceptionally preserved\, this is one of Mary Anning’s finds of an ichthyosaur. Fish bones and scales\, visible inside the stomach area of the animal\, reveal the last meal of this marine reptile.\n\n\n\nMegalosaurus Jaw. This is the iconic fossilised jaw of Megalosaurus\, found in Stonesfield\, Oxfordshire\, and was used by William Buckland in the first ever scientific description of a dinosaur\, in 1824.\n\n\n\nProfessor and Mrs. Buckland and Frank. This silhouette of the Bucklands\, created by Auguste Edouart in 1829\, celebrates how the whole family was involved in the study of palaeontology.\n\n\n\nSynoptic view of the leading phenomena of Geology. The first plate in William Buckland’s Bridgewater Treatise VI: Geology and mineralogy considered with reference to natural theology. The Bridgewater Treatises was a series of eight volumes highlighting how science and faith could coexist. Buckland’s contribution argued that geology and palaeontology were consistent with the Bible and natural theology.

SUMMARY:Ashmolean NOW: Bettina von Zwehl
DESCRIPTION:Ashmolean NOW: Bettina von Zwehl\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Ashmolean NOW: Bettina von Zwehl\n\n\n\nAshmolean NOW: Bettina von Zwehl is the third in the Ashmolean NOW exhibition series\, where contemporary artists are invited to create new work inspired by the Ashmolean’s historical collections. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition features photographs by London-based artist Bettina von Zwehl (b. 1971)\, whose aim is to rekindle wonder and curiosity as critical tools for exploring new ideas and practices. \n\n\n\nDuring a residency in Oxford from 2022 to 2023\, von Zwehl spent time researching the Ashmolean’s founding collections – the wonderfully diverse objects and works of art which were displayed when the museum first opened in the 17th century. \n\n\n\nThe artist’s time at the Ashmolean served as inspiration for a unique photographic ‘Wunderkammer’ installation that moves between portraiture\, silhouetted fragments\, still-life\, monumental and miniature elements\, as well as non-art objects and specimens from natural history collections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:Admission is FREE \n\n\n\nDate and times:From 18 October 2024 to 11 May 2025The museum is open every day from 10.00am to 5.00pm \n\n\n\nLocation:Gallery 8 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBehind-the-scenes with the artist

SUMMARY:First World War-themed Family Day
DESCRIPTION:First World War-themed Family Day at Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum\, Woodstock. Images: Great War Society\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout First World War-themed family day at Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum\n\n\n\nOn Saturday\, 02 November 2024\, Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum will host a First World War-themed family day from noon to 5.00pm. \n\n\n\n2024 marks 110 years since the outbreak of the Great War\, while the county military museum also celebrates 10 years since it first opened. The event aims to commemorate this and help families discover more about Oxfordshire’s contribution to events that changed the world and the stories of local people caught up in them. \n\n\n\nFirst World War activities will be open to all the family\, with an illustration workshop focused on wartime animals and an opportunity to make your own ‘Princess Mary’ tin\, like those gifted to soldiers from Christmas 1914.During the event\, the museum’s galleries will be open alongside a range of WW1 living history displays to help immerse visitors in the period. \n\n\n\nThe Great War Society\, Britain’s longest-running First World War living history group\, will portray soldiers from the county regiment (The Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry) throughout different stages of the conflict. Those dropping in will also see interpretations of French soldiers from Volontaires Etrangers\, offering a different perspective on the ’War to End All Wars’. \n\n\n\nThe museum’s permanent displays cover some of the many different fronts on which the war was fought\, from the western front to Mesopotamia (now Iraq)\, while a re-created trench dugout offers visitors a chance to walk through history\, with equipment and clothing for families to handle and even try on. \n\n\n\nAlongside living history\, there will be opportunities to find out more about local and family history with several displays from other museums and heritage organisations\, including the Western Front Association\, Chipping Norton Museum\, Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum\, and the Royal Army Chaplains’ Museum. \n\n\n\nGreat War historian and author Helen Frost will also be attending\, promoting her new book Voices from the Great War: Women’s Land Army\, with signed copies available\, alongside a fascinating display of Land Girls’ uniforms and photographs to help tell their often-overlooked First World War story. \n\n\n\nThose with a family story from the First World War and objects to share will find museum staff and volunteers on hand to discuss these and accept donations to the museum’s collections\, preserving Oxfordshire’s military heritage for future generations. \n\n\n\nThe museum is particularly interested in objects from the First World War with a person or story associated with them that ties to the county itself or one of the county’s regiments\, The Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry or Oxfordshire Yeomanry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:Pay what you can \n\n\n\nDuring the First World War Family Day\, the museum will not charge its standard admission prices for entry. Instead\, visitors will be encouraged to “Pay what you can” – as entry will be by donation. \n\n\n\nAll proceeds will support the museum’s 10th-anniversary fundraising campaign\, helping to ensure the museum can continue to look after and expand its collections while preserving and sharing Oxfordshire’s military and wartime stories. \n\n\n\nParking:Blenheim Palace\, just a short walk from Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum\, is kindly supporting this event\, providing additional car parking for visitors on their site throughout. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGallery
