SUMMARY:Plain Things Wonders Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:About Plain Things Wonders Exhibition\n\n\n\nPlain Things Wonders tells the story of how paying attention to nature can make plain things into wonders. \n\n\n\nMarking 400 years since the publication of Francis Bacon’s Sylva Sylvarum (1626)\, the exhibition unfolds histories of citizen science\, lay participation in natural observation\, and how projects like Robert Hooke’s Micrographia (1665) and Gilbert White’s Natural History of Selbourne (1789) discover wonder in plain things. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition connects the science of natural history with the art of illustration\, attention and visualisation. It asks how book art makes the ordinary stuff of nature beautiful\, and how the long history of observation links with modern ecological challenges. \n\n\n\nCome and embrace the opportunities to notice the plain things of the natural world in your everyday life. \n\n\n\nCurators \n\n\n\n\nDr Kathryn Murphy\, Oriel College and Faculty of English\, University of Oxford\n\n\n\nToby Stinson\, Faculty of English\, University of Oxford\n\n\n\nDr Kiera Chapman\, Faculty of English\, University of Oxford\n\n\n\nDr Ollie Douglas\, Curator of Collections\, Museum of English Rural Life\n\n\n\nStephanie Holt\, Faculty of History\, University of Oxford\n\n\n\nProfessor Yadvinder Malhi\, Oriel College and School of Geography and the Environment\, University of Oxford\n\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\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFree admission\, no ticket required \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nThursday 05 November 2026 to Sunday 29 August 2027 \n\n\n\nMonday to Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pmSaturday from 10.00am to 5.00pmSunday from 11.00am to 4.00pm \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nST Lee Gallery\, Weston Library \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGallery\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Stephen Emmerson\, Translation of Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge by Rainer Maria Rilke\, London 2015.\, Cons.Res. 43._2.
