A Story in Stone
About the event
The polished stone columns that decorate the interior of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History were specially selected to illustrate the geology of Britain. Join geologists Philip Powell and Nina Morgan for a colourful and informative tour of the building interior – and learn a lot about geology along the way.
