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:Cheung Yee and his 1960s Hong Kong contemporaries
DESCRIPTION:Cheung Yee and his 1960s Hong Kong Contemporaries. Images (left to right): Everlasting 2/50\, Cheung Yee\, 1977\, red relief on cast paper. Family\, Cheung Yee\, 1960-1969. Chan Painting\, Lui Shou-Kwan\, 1969.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Cheung Yee and his 1960s Hong Kong Contemporaries\n\n\n\nThis exhibition showcases newly-acquired works for the Ashmolean by the Hong Kong artist Cheung Yee (1936–2019). It will be the first substantial display of his work outside Hong Kong\, including sculpture and works on paper. \n\n\n\nCheung Yee was a leading figure of innovation in the Hong Kong art scene\, especially during the 1960s\, when the city established its own identity as an artistic centre. \n\n\n\nHis work will be shown alongside those by Lui Shou-Kwan (1919–75)\, Wucius Wong (b.1936)\, Liu Kuo-sung (b.1932) and others from the avant-garde Circle Art Group. \n\n\n\nDisplayed with his peers\, the works highlight Cheung Yee’s connection with a generation of modern art pioneers from Hong Kong and Taiwan in the latter 20th century. \n\n\n\nAlthough Cheung Yee is mainly known as a sculptor\, the Ashmolean exhibition will include some outstanding examples of his experiments with works on paper. \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 30 November 2024 to 09 November 2025 \n\n\n\nThe museum is open every day from 10.00am to 5.00pm \n\n\n\nLocation:Gallery 11\, ground floor

I think I’ll cope. \n\n\n\nWhat else is there to do? Sit next to your partner on the sofa scrolling TikTok in silence again? You did that the last three nights. See you there! \n\n\n\nHost of Sky’s Rob Beckett’s Smart TV and Rob & Romesh Vs.
