But why do we want tame wolves in our homes or wild cats on our laps? \n\n\n\nThis exhibition explores the relationship between humans and their pets – or pets and their humans. \n\n\n\nPets & their People draws on depictions of pets in stories\, imagery and poetry in the Bodleian’s collection – from one of the earliest recorded depictions of an assistance dog for the blind to a rare copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that has never been displayed in the UK before. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition asks how the special bond between owners and their pets has evolved over time\, and what that evolution tells us about who we really are. \n\n\n\nAre we taming our pets\, or are they bringing us back to our wild roots? \n\n\n\nExhibition book \n\n\n\nPets & their People \n\n\n\nBy Charles Foster \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Exhibition book – Pets & their People\n\n\n\nBestselling author Charles Foster provides an extraordinary mix of psychology\, science and cultural history as he explores the fascinating relationship between humans and their pets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese wonderful images are actually postcards\, collected by the artist Tom Phillips (1937–2022) and part of the archive donated to the Bodleian Libraries. \n\n\n\nDating from the c1890s – 1960s\, they capture different relationships between people and the animals around them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCall for submissions \n\n\n\nAs part of the exhibition\, the Bodleian Libraries are inviting members of the public to contribute to a contemporary record of people and their pets. Participants are encouraged to submit photographs featuring themselves and their pets\, either by recreating images from the Tom Phillips postcard collection or by sharing original photographs inspired by the theme. \n\n\n\nSend them to socialmedia@bodleian.ox.ac.uk.

Throughout the system there are acknowledged difficulties; organisms that are “imperfect”\, “strange originals” and things suspended in “betwixt” categories: coral that is neither mineral nor plant\, fungi that “seem to want” essential parts\, zoophytes suspended between kingdoms. \n\n\n\nCreated using roughly a decade of different generative systems (2016–2025)\, each with its own unique aesthetic\, and trained on imagery drawn from Wilkins’ own descriptions\, it becomes almost a cabinet of curiosities\, even as the logic that links each image remains unstable or not immediately legible. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWork 2:+\n\n\n\n\nBetween Things displays Wilkins’ phrases as evidence of classification under pressure—instances where his system hesitates\, hedges\, and cannot decide. Handwritten text is rendered large and placed into the environment as a record of doubt\, but one that is only visible at 3am\, for an hour. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWork 3:+\n\n\n\n\nAn Infinity of Lists assembles Wilkins’ language itself\, showing every word used in his system\, first mapped to the hierarchy he imposed\, then gradually reframed through the logic of word2vec. \n\n\n\nOver the duration of the work the mapping shifts from the symbolic architecture of Wilkins’ invented order toward statistical relations in learned embedding space. The piece flutters between word\, image\, and symbol\, making visible how translation across systems and across time changes what counts as related. \n\n\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\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nOpen daily.

Located in the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter\, it is designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration while opening the humanities to a wider public through events\, performances\, and year-round programming. \n\n\n\nAt its heart are world-class venues including a concert hall\, theatre\, cinema\, recital spaces\, and galleries\, supported by flexible teaching and meeting facilities. A central atrium acts as a social hub\, blending academic life with informal gathering spaces\, cafés\, and exhibitions. More than a university facility\, the Centre functions as a civic cultural destination\, connecting scholarship with creative practice and strengthening Oxford’s wider cultural life. \n\n\n\nView venue information URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/anna-ridler-a-perfect-language-of-images/ LOCATION:Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities\, Radcliffe Observatory Quarter\, Woodstock Road\, Oxford\, OX2 6GG CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/anna-ridler-a-perfect-language-of-images-01-1920x1080-1.webp GEO:51.7604705;-1.2621148 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities Radcliffe Observatory Quarter Woodstock Road Oxford OX2 6GG;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Radcliffe Observatory Quarter\, Woodstock Road:geo:-1.2621148,51.7604705 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260502T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20270103T235959 DTSTAMP:20260513T051015Z CREATED:20260429T140948Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260513T051015Z UID:10012335-1777680000-1799020799@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Wonder of Birds Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Wonder of Birds Exhibition\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Wonder of Birds Exhibition\n\n\n\nA major new exhibition at the Bodleian Libraries invites visitors to step into the remarkable world of birds\, exploring their beauty\, symbolism and fragility through art\, literature and science. \n\n\n\nWonder of Birds draws inspiration from The Book of Birds\, created by artist Jackie Morris and writer Robert Macfarlane. Both the exhibition and the book reflect on the decline of bird populations while celebrating their cultural and natural significance. \n\n\n\nCurated by Antonia Harrison\, the exhibition unfolds through seven themed sections – from nest and egg to feather\, flight and migration – combining original artwork and writing with treasures from the Bodleian’s extensive collections. \n\n\n\nVisitors can explore rare and historic material\, including previously unseen glass plate negatives by pioneering wildlife photographer Emma Louisa Turner\, alongside early nature photography from Richard Kearton and his brother Cherry. \n\n\n\nAlso on display are striking life-size illustrations from Birds of America by John James Audubon\, as well as a rare Great Auk egg on loan from Oxford University Museum of Natural History. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition also highlights birds’ enduring influence on culture\, featuring works such as Maya Angelou’s ‘Caged Bird’ and Percy Bysshe Shelley’s handwritten notes on ‘To a Skylark’. Global perspectives include imagery from The Book of the Fixed Stars and the poetic journey of The Conference of the Birds. \n\n\n\nEnhancing the experience\, a specially commissioned soundscape by sound artist Jason Singh immerses visitors in birdsong and natural environments\, while artist duo Daniel & Clara present an interactive ‘Rewilding Imagination field guide’. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Wonder of Birds poster\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\nSaturday 02 May 2026 to Sunday 03 January 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\nThe Treasury\, Weston Library URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/wonder-of-birds/ LOCATION:Bodleian Library – Old Library\, Broad Street\, Oxford\, OX1 3BG\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/Wonder-of-Birds.webp GEO:51.7545707;-1.2553262 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bodleian Library – Old Library Broad Street Oxford OX1 3BG United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Broad Street:geo:-1.2553262,51.7545707 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260523T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260904T235959 DTSTAMP:20260704T042827Z CREATED:20260702T191203Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260704T042827Z UID:10013003-1779494400-1788566399@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:The Muddle of the Muses DESCRIPTION:The Muddle of the Muses\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Muddle of the Muses\n\n\n\nWhere have the iconic Muses from on top of the Clarendon Building gone?

Critical raw materials tend to have unique chemical properties which make them difficult to replace in technology. The UK government includes 34 raw materials on its designated critical list\, but lists vary from country to country. \n\n\n\n\n\n\naluminium\n\n\n\nantimony\n\n\n\nbismuth\n\n\n\nborates\n\n\n\ncobalt\n\n\n\ngallium\n\n\n\ngermanium\n\n\n\nhafnium\n\n\n\nhelium\n\n\n\nindium\n\n\n\niridium\n\n\n\niron\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nlithium\n\n\n\nmagnesite\n\n\n\nmagnesium\n\n\n\nmanganese\n\n\n\nnatural graphite\n\n\n\nnickel\n\n\n\nniobium\n\n\n\nphosphorus\n\n\n\nplatinum\n\n\n\nrare earth elements (REEs)\n\n\n\nrhenium\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nrhodium\n\n\n\nruthenium\n\n\n\nsilicon\n\n\n\nsodium\n\n\n\ntantalum\n\n\n\ntellurium\n\n\n\ntin\n\n\n\ntitanium\n\n\n\ntungsten\n\n\n\nvanadium\n\n\n\nzinc\n\n\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\nPrices: \n\n\n\n\nEntry to the Museum is FREE and not ticketed.\n\n\n\nNo booking required.\n\n\n\nBooking is required for organisations/groups of more than ten people visiting on the same day.\n\n\n\n\nOpening hours: \n\n\n\n\nMonday to Sunday from 10.00am to 5.00pm\n\n\n\nLast entry at 4.45pm\n\n\n\nClosed on 24\, 25\, & 26 December\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility: \n\n\n\nPlease 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\nGallery\n\n\n\nClick images to expand \n\n\n\n\nBattery Ores\n\n\n\nBismuth\n\n\n\nCobalt\n\n\n\nDysprosium\n\n\n\nHalite\n\n\n\nREEs\n\n\n\n\nImage credit: Sarah Bell URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/34-the-critical-raw-materials-shaping-our-future/ LOCATION:Oxford University Museum of Natural History\, Parks Road\, Oxford\, Oxfordshire CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/34-the-critical-raw-materials-shaping-our-future-01-1920x1080-1.webp GEO:51.7586144;-1.2567354 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Oxford University Museum of Natural History Parks Road Oxford Oxfordshire;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Parks Road:geo:-1.2567354,51.7586144 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260619T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260913T235959 DTSTAMP:20260728T115611Z CREATED:20260606T013253Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260728T115611Z UID:10012787-1781827200-1789343999@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Appau Jnr Boakye-Yiadom: Modular Merger DESCRIPTION:Appau Jnr Boakye-Yiadom: Modular Merger.
