OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The World of Stonehenge exhibition was held at the British Museum in the first half of 2022 and was seen by over 190,000 people. The first major exhibition of its kind, it garnered great critical acclaim but also surprised visitors by displaying objects not just from Stonehenge but from across Britain, Ireland and north-west Europe, reflecting a time of deep connections, travel and big ideas. Organised in partnership with the State Museum of Prehistory, Halle/Saale, Germany, the exhibition was supported by generous loans from museums across the UK, Ireland and continental Europe. This talk reflects on some of the moving stories that the exhibition told, the lessons we learnt while staging the exhibition, and the growing relevance of deep history to society and the public today.
