Compass and Rule, Oxford exhibition

I'm hoping to make a visit here this week, as it's in my town for a short time. The most excellent Museum of the History of Science in Broad Street is running Compass and Rule: Architecture as Mathematical Practice in England 1500-1750. Maybe you'd like to make the trip to my beautiful city too?

The event blurb goes: Geometrical techniques were central to a reform of architectural practice in England from the 16th to the 18th century, changing how architects worked and what they built as well the status and social standing of their discipline. Important loans of instruments, manuscripts, drawings and books join the Museum’s own objects for a major exhibition.

When: Jun 16, 2009 (Tuesday) to Sep 6, 2009 (Sunday), 15-16 Broad Street, Oxford.

Admission is free.

Oh and if you live nowhere near, don't fear, it's available online too!
