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.

But\, to begin with\, they were scorned\, penniless outsiders. \n\n\n\n1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists\, “hungry for independence”\, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever. \n\n\n\nExhibition on Screen – Dawn Of Impressionism: Paris 1874\, 90′\n\n\n\nWhat led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way? The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition brings fresh eyes to this extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion. The story is told not by historians and curators but in the words of those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists\, press\, and people of Paris\, in 1874. See the show that changed everything on the big screen. \n\n\n\nMade in close collaboration with the Musee d’Orsay and National Gallery of Art\, Washington D.C. \n\n\n\nThis is a screening\, not a live performance. \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\nTickets prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £14.85 \n\n\n\nNo transaction fees \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nTuesday 18 March 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nNorman Bragg Studio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Aylesbury Waterside Theatre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nAylesbury Waterside Theatre is a stunning modern venue at the heart of Buckinghamshire’s cultural scene. \n\n\n\nOpened in 2010\, its striking wooden interior takes inspiration from the rolling Chiltern Hills\, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Back in 1922\, when she was just 25\, she flew higher than any woman before her and became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans\, setting multiple speed and distance records. \n\n\n\nPublic Service Broadcasting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt also makes a nod to her final venture\, when she announced in 1937 that she would circumnavigate the globe in her Lockheed Model 10-E Electra aircraft. She crossed the Americas\, Africa\, the Middle East\, and Asia\, but never made it back. \n\n\n\nThe album’s first single Electra is a pulsating\, funk-inspired track which\, like the album\, takes inspiration from the determination of Earheart and captures the same force as her aircraft. \n\n\n\n“I wanted to do a woman-focused story because most of the archive we have access to is overwhelmingly male”\, said J. Willgoose Esq\, discussing the inspiration for their first album since 2021’s Bright Magic.  \n\n\n\n“I was initially drawn in by Earhart’s final fight\, rather than the successes that she had\, but the more I read the more I became fascinated by her. Her bravery and aeronautical achievements were extraordinary\, but her philosophy and the dignity that she had… she was an outstanding person.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £34.63 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95. \n\n\n\nDate and time: \n\n\n\nThursday 20 March 2025 at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nAge guidance: \n\n\n\nUnder 16s to be accompanied by an adult 21+.

Together with members of fellow Brighton group The Moulettes\, they went on to record two albums radically reworking their songs – with producer John Leckie (We The Collective) and Sean Lakeman (Together All The Way). \n\n\n\nLevellers\n\n\n\nThe new acoustic arrangements of those Levellers songs\, old and new\, can now also be seen and heard on a new Live Album & DVD which was recorded in 2023 at London’s iconic Hackney Empire. The film captures the spirit of the Levellers as never seen before as multiple cameras were positioned onstage for the recording and the result is a truly privileged vantage point. \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\nTickets prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £32.41 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nFriday 21 March 2025 at 8.00pm \n\n\n\nDoors open at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nMain auditorium \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Aylesbury Waterside Theatre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nAylesbury Waterside Theatre is a stunning modern venue at the heart of Buckinghamshire’s cultural scene. \n\n\n\nOpened in 2010\, its striking wooden interior takes inspiration from the rolling Chiltern Hills\, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
