THE links between science and war are being explored by an Oxford museum.

The Museum of the History of Science in Broad Street has just launched a new display called ‘Science and Sacrifice’.

A cabinet in the Museum’s Basement Gallery near to Einstein’s blackboard has been dedicated to the story of science and war in 20th-century Oxford.

It draws on a recent Dear Harry special exhibition focusing on the life of Henry Moseley.

The physicist died in 1915 at Gallipoli, aged just 27.

Before his death the skilled experimental scientist used self-built equipment to prove that every element’s identity is uniquely determined by the number of protons it has.

After the success of the temporary exhibition, the story will not be told permanently by the museum.

A walking tour is also being organised by the museum to mark Armistice Day 2017.

Working with the Under Construction Theatre Company, the tour will help people learn about Oxford’s largely forgotten role in the first global conflict of the 20th Century.

Visitors can discover how many well-known colleges and public buildings were converted into hospitals and for military use, and about the formative experiences of key historical and literary figures including Siegfried Sassoon, Vera Brittain and T E Lawrence.

It takes place on Saturday November 11 from 2pm and leaves from the museum.

Running time is approximately 90-110 minutes depending on pace.

Free tickets are available through the Eventbrite website.
