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: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

SUMMARY:The Prat Pack 2025 UK Tour: Preview Shows
DESCRIPTION:The Prat Pack 2025 UK Tour\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Prat Pack 2025 UK Tour: Preview Shows\n\n\n\nFour of the country’s greatest comedy entertainers will tour the UK in 2025 with their own special take on the Rat Pack – Bradley Walsh (The Chase\, Gladiators)\, Brian Conley (The Brian Conley Show\, EastEnders)\, Shane Richie (EastEnders\, I’m a Celebrity…)\, and Joe Pasquale (I’m a Celebrity…\, Dancing On Ice) are ‘The Prat Pack’. \n\n\n\nWith countless stage performances between them\, from hit musicals to celebrated pantomimes\, this talented group brings their charisma and comedic flair to audiences in a show packed with music and laughter. \n\n\n\nInspired by the performances of Frank Sinatra\, Dean Martin\, Sammy Davis Jr\, Joey Bishop\, and Peter Lawford\, the UK stars are hitting the road (with Pasquale at the wheel of the tour bus). \n\n\n\nPacked with laughs and songs\, backed by a 15-piece band\, the show will let the audience in on the banter between some of television’s best-loved stars – who are also very close friends. \n\n\n\nBradley Walsh says: “People are starved of our type of entertainment – songs\, stories\, jokes – and banter! It’s an homage to the Rat Pack but brought up to the modern day\, and it’s a fantastic night. We are just thrilled. We all share the same dressing room – we’re mates. We’ve known each other for so long now – and the show is about warmth and family – because we are. It’s great\, really great.” \n\n\n\nWalsh was joined by his three mates and the Barry Robinson Big Band for a one-off show at the Palladium in London in March\, and the idea was born for a full-on Prat Pack tour.  \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\nFrom £55.00 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nTuesday 22 April to Wednesday 23 April 2025 \n\n\n\nTuesday at 7.30pm and Wednesday at 8.00pm \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.

SUMMARY:Marjorie Collins: A Retrospective 1975-2025
DESCRIPTION:Marjorie Collins: A Retrospective 1975-2025\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Marjorie Collins: A Retrospective 1975-2025\n\n\n\nLight\, and the abstract shadows\, shapes\, and reflections that it can impart on objects or surfaces\, is the unifying theme that runs through the work in Marjorie Collins’ retrospective exhibition. \n\n\n\nAlthough she started out painting people and places\, today Marjorie is better known for her colourful contemporary watercolours of still lifes and florals\, often painting objects larger than life. Marjorie still paints urban scenes\, many from unusual angles to create abstract shapes\, but with the resulting image still representational. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artist  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarjorie grew up in Chicago and trained at the University of Michigan\, where she gained a Bachelor’s degree in Design\, followed by part-time graduate courses at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. It was in Chicago that her interest in how light falls on buildings led to the style that characterises her work. She moved to Oxford in 1975\, and this exhibition follows the refinement of that technique.  \n\n\n\nShe has exhibited widely\, and her work can be found in a number of corporate and private collections both in the UK and the US. Images of her work have appeared in a number of art publications and on the artuk.org website. Marjorie is a Member of the Society of Women Artists\, the Society of Botanical Artists\, and the Oxford Art Society.  \n\n\n\nThis exhibition represents a selection of the paintings Marjorie has completed since moving to Oxford from Chicago in 1975 until the present. During this time\, she has exhibited her paintings widely in galleries in solo and group shows both in the United States and in England\, where her work can be found in corporate\, private\, and public collections.   \n\n\n\nOpen exhibitions include The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition\, Sunday Times Watercolour Competition\, Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours\, and the Royal Watercolour Society.  \n\n\n\nAmong the many prizes her work has received are:  \n\n\n\n\nWinsor and Newton Grand Award – Celebration 2000 Competition (Artist Magazine) \n\n\n\nRunner Up St Cuthbert’s Mill Award – Society of Botanical Artists Competition 2007 \n\n\n\nDaler Rowney Purchase Prize – Society of Women Artists 2008 \n\n\n\nFinalist Flowers and Garden Competition – International Artist Magazine 2009 \n\n\n\nWinsor and Newton First Prize – Royal Watercolour Society 2011 \n\n\n\nDaniel Smith Excellence in Colour Award – Society of Women Artists 2011 \n\n\n\nShortlisted Artist of the Year Award – Artist and Illustrator Magazine 2013\, 2014 \n\n\n\nShortlisted Artist – Jacksons Open Art Prize 2018 \n\n\n\nSt Cuthbert’s Paper Mill Award – Society of Women Artists 2018 \n\n\n\nWinner – Artist Magazine’s 90th Anniversary Challenge (to paint a city scene) \n\n\n\nHighly Commended – The Artist and Leisure Painter Open Art Competition \n\n\n\nFaso Boldbrush Merchandise Award – Women in Watercolour (US Int.

SUMMARY:Museum of Oxford Walks: Shakespeare and Oxford
DESCRIPTION:Museum of Oxford Walks: Shakespeare and Oxford\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Museum of Oxford Walks: Shakespeare and Oxford\n\n\n\nNew for 2025\, celebrating the Museum of Oxford’s 50th birthday! \n\n\n\nShakespeare came to Oxford when travelling between work (London) and his family (Stratford-upon-Avon) – what a commute! What was Oxford like during his lifetime? What did he get up to while he was in town? \n\n\n\nThis is an opportunity to pause and look carefully at Oxford city centre\, noticing Elizabethan and Jacobean details you might pass by every day. The tour includes a unique Tudor bedroom above Cornmarket Street\, the famous Painted Room which will be opened specially by Oxford Preservation Trust\, just for us! \n\n\n\nWant to know more about Elizabethan eating and drinking\, entertainment\, and travel? Or the rollercoaster of religious change in Tudor and Stuart England? Led by historian Dr Elizabeth Sandis\, this is a Shakespeare-themed journey through Oxford’s famous streets. \n\n\n\nAt the end there will be an optional 20-minute extension to the tour (included in the price)\, exploring Tudor and Stuart treasures in the Museum of Oxford’s galleries. \n\n\n\nAccessibility and further information \n\n\n\nMeeting point: Museum of Oxford shop (located inside the Oxford Town Hall). Please arrive 5 minutes before the start of the walk and check in at the Museum Shop with our friendly front-of-house team. \n\n\n\nThe walk lasts for approximately 90 minutes and is a circular walk around central Oxford.

SUMMARY:Rave On For The Avon with Director Q&A (12A)
DESCRIPTION:Rave On For The Avon with Director Q&A (12A)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Rave On For The Avon with Director Q&A (12A)\n\n\n\nDirected by Charlotte Sawyer \n\n\n\nOne-off screening featuring a panel discussion and Q&A with director Charlotte Sawyer and ‘Big Oil’ whistleblower Caroline Dennett. \n\n\n\n‘Rave On For The Avon’ is a compelling documentary that delves into the heart of the River Avon community\, highlighting the passionate efforts of local swimmers\, scientists\, and even a mermaid as they unite to protect and preserve their cherished river.  \n\n\n\nThe film underscores themes of environmental activism\, community resilience\, and the profound connection between people and their natural surroundings. \n\n\n\nEngland is one of only two countries in the world with a fully privatised water and sewage system. With just 14% of its rivers in good ecological health\, the effort to keep them clean is falling short.  \n\n\n\nIn this inspiring documentary\, director Charlotte Sawyer follows a community of wild swimmers in Bristol as they grapple with the impact of raw sewage pollution in the River Avon.
