Rather than send this old case off to storage, it was repurposed as a showcase for art made by staff. Because it's not on public display in the museum, we're sharing images online. The first exhibit is an #IsolationCreation made by conservator Jevon Thistlewood during lockdown.
Today, 8 Aug, is Oxford Mathematician Roger Penrose's 90th birthday. So we got down our mixing bowl, gave our ingredients a twist & 2 cakes emerged.
P.S. Roger himself comments that the number 90 isn't interesting. "91 is far more mathematically interesting."

We don’t know who submitted each message, so we’re just going to take a punt that someone wanted us to post this; so if everyone would like to re-tweet & put all Tinas on high-alert then please do so 🤷♂️ 💍

To the person who stole 54 rolls of roll of toilet paper from our forecourt last night, please be aware that stealing from a bookshop is some pretty hefty bad karma...
