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:20260617T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20270413T235959 DTSTAMP:20260830T000045Z CREATED:20260519T203704Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260830T000045Z UID:10012582-1781654400-1807660799@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:34: The critical raw materials shaping our future DESCRIPTION:34: The critical raw materials shaping our future\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Breaking Ground\n\n\n\n34: The Critical Raw Materials Shaping Our Future is a major new exhibition at Oxford University Museum of Natural History explores the hidden materials that power modern life — from smartphones and batteries to medical equipment and jet engines. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition examines the 34 raw materials considered essential to the UK’s future\, revealing the global supply chains\, ethical challenges and scientific innovations behind the minerals that underpin everyday technology. \n\n\n\nDeveloped in collaboration with researchers from the University of Oxford’s Oxford EARTH Programme and departments across the physical\, life and social sciences\, the exhibition explores how increasing demand for green energy and digital technology is transforming the global race for critical materials. \n\n\n\nVisitors can discover why substances such as lithium\, cobalt and rare earth elements are so important to modern society\, why supply chains are becoming increasingly fragile\, and how scientists and industry are searching for more sustainable and ethical ways to source\, use and recycle these materials. \n\n\n\nThrough interactive displays\, scientific research\, historic objects and contemporary technologies\, the exhibition examines the future of extraction\, sustainability and resource security\, while highlighting the environmental and geopolitical challenges linked to critical raw materials. \n\n\n\nDesigned for audiences of all ages\, the exhibition is accompanied by a programme of talks\, workshops\, tours and family activities exploring the science\, ethics and global impact of the materials shaping our future. \n\n\n\nWhat are critical raw materials?\n\n\n\nCritical raw materials are those essential to key technologies but their supply may be limited\, unsustainable or unethical. 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:20260721T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20270521T235959 DTSTAMP:20260715T025023Z CREATED:20260711T001323Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260715T025023Z UID:10013009-1784592000-1810943999@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Pip & Posy's Treehouse Trail at Blenheim Palace DESCRIPTION:Pip & Posy’s Treehouse Trail\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Pip & Posy’s Treehouse Trail at Blenheim Palace\n\n\n\nFollow the brand new Treehouse Trail in Adventure Play \n\n\n\nJoin Pip and Posy in Adventure Play on an adventure to solve the mystery of the missing toy Piggy!

Six multi-skilled performers slip in and out of different voices\, different lives. \n\n\n\nThey tell stories\, the sort of stories we carry around like pebbles in our pockets\, stories we need to tell in order to finally set them down and move forward\, in order not to be trapped between different periods of time. \n\n\n\nBy turns deeply moving and darkly comic\, The Alonetimes weaves together semi-autobiographical stories and historical texts – broken friendships\, fumbled sexual encounters\, quiet moments of revelation\, mid-life crises\, emotional meltdowns and online dating profiles. \n\n\n\nWords that won’t come out of the mouth and words that tumble out uncontrollably. A trash-talking\, chain-vaping Druid from 3300 BC threads our path through this kaleidoscopic minefield\, urging performers and audience alike to work through the challenges from our past\, put it to rest\, and maybe feel a bit less alone. \n\n\n\nThrough two very different bodies of work and working practices\, Jennifer and Philip share a common love for storytelling\, collage\, the voice and music theatre at its most eclectic. \n\n\n\nThey often weave their own life experiences into their work\, striving to make direct\, visceral connections with the audience; music theatre that can ask what it means to be alive\, that talks openly and honestly about human relationships. \n\n\n\nJennifer and Philip are excited to collide their practices in this work\, to be collaborative and playful with each other; to write over\, into and underneath each other’s work. It will be an adventure. \n\n\n\nPerformers: \n\n\n\nAndreas Borregaard accordion \n\n\n\nDiamanda La Berge Dramm violin \n\n\n\nLoré Lixenberg voice \n\n\n\nOskar McCarthy voice \n\n\n\nVanessa Porter percussion \n\n\n\nAdam Starkie bass clarinet \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 £26.95 to £53.90 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nMonday 19 October 2026 at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour with no interval \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nSohmen Concert Hall URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/the-alonetimes/ LOCATION:Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities\, Radcliffe Observatory Quarter\, Woodstock Road\, Oxford\, OX2 6GG CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Alonetimes.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:20261021T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261024T235959 DTSTAMP:20260902T171213Z CREATED:20260902T171213Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260902T171213Z UID:10013366-1792540800-1792886399@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:The Seagull DESCRIPTION:The Seagull\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Seagull\n\n\n\nBy Anton Chekhov \n\n\n\nNew English language version by Simon Stephens \n\n\n\nPresented by University of Oxford student company Lighthouse Productions \n\n\n\nDirected by Alys Young \n\n\n\n“Yes but the theatre!

But prior to being a music venue\, it was a Cooperative party hall. It was originally known as The Venue and then the much-respected Zodiac\, both of which paved the way for O2 Academy Oxford\, which officially launched in September 2007\, with performances from New Young Pony Club\, The Magic Numbers and Young Knives. \n\n\n\nSince then\, the O2 Academy Oxford has established itself as one of the city’s greatest venues for live music and club nights\, with some of the best gigs to date coming from Ed Sheeran\, Foals\, Stereophonics\, Ozzy Osbourne\, Babyshambles\, Hozier and Royal Blood.
