OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

To mark the acquisition of a new and important astrolabe in the collection, Dr Stephen Johnston (Assistant Keeper, Museum of the History of Science) presents the first research results on its story. This new acquisition to the Museum is an example of a medieval device that has been adapted and reworked in the 16th century: it tells a story of the Renaissance recycling rather than rejecting the Middle Ages.
Doors open at 18:30.
Part of the programme of events for the Museum’s new entrance gallery exhibition: New Acquisitions (Opening 19 January 2016)
