Our last full day in Oxford was invested with visits to the University Church, The Museum of Natural History, The Pitt Museum of Anthropology & Archeology and The Museum of The History of Science which turned out to be a good plan as it was heavily overcast, rained all day and cold.
The Museums of Natural History and Anthropology & Archeology were overwhelming with many detailed exhibits and plenty of interactive exhibits for young children and school groups.
The Museum of The History of Science was a curious collection of instruments, telescopes, microscopes, calculators and various other apparatus used by experimental scientists and educators. In a prominent location over a large fireplace was a section of blackboard encased in a protective cover. The blackboard was used by Albert Einstein during a series of lectures at Oxford in 1931.
Tommorow we transit via train to Shrewsbury.
That board is so cool! Sounds like Oxford’s been great fun. Keep on keeping on, these updates have been great. xx
Hey, if this stuff on the blackboard is so serious, why is the snake right at the end laughing so much? He KNOWS something……?
