Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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)
