If anyone happend to be in the oxford area between now and February I can thoroughly recommend a visit the ithe Museum of the History of Science to catch ethe first ever exhibition of steampunk art. No weapons on display, but lots of mad science inspiration.

I caught the exhibition yesterday for its opening and combined it with a visit to Oxford's natural history museum (they have a T-Rex skeleton).

Ooh cool, a T-rex. I'm trying to find time to pop over to Oxford and get a look, going to see a t-rex would be a good tie in. Oxford's quite a ways for you to go, hope it was worth it.

Brilliant stuff.

Reminds me again what a state of philistines I live in... (and not the colorful bronze age types, either.)...

Oh, for want of a museum!

Oxford is a fair old trip for me, but as a member of the brassgoggles steampunk forums it is something I've known about for a while and been thinking about traveling to see.

I'm one of those people who had interests that could be called steampunk long before steampunk really became a term so it would be very interesting to see different peoples takes on it in the flesh, or should that be brass, rather than just online.

I also have plans to visit this exhibition, not sure when as it is a fair old trek.

Turns out I'm going to be by Oxford on Friday afternoon. May as well pop in and see the exhibit, and a T-rex

My chums and I are heading up twice in January, as there are a variety of events on offer.
