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 URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/kabuki-legends-part-two/ LOCATION:Ashmolean Museum\, 35 Beaumont Street\, Oxford\, Oxfordshire\, OX1 2PH CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/kabuki-legends-01-1920x1080-dancing-cranes.webp GEO:51.7550824;-1.2611489 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Ashmolean Museum 35 Beaumont Street Oxford Oxfordshire OX1 2PH;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=35 Beaumont Street:geo:-1.2611489,51.7550824 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241018T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250901T235959 DTSTAMP:20260418T103210 CREATED:20241012T113234Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251027T070907Z UID:10009665-1729209600-1756771199@theoxfordmagazine.com 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.
