Built between 1855 and 1860, Oxford University Museum of Natural History is the extraordinary result of close collaboration between artists and scientists. Inspired by John Ruskin, the architect Benjamin Woodward and Oxford scientists worked with leading Pre-Raphaelite artists on the design and decoration of the building.

The decorative art was modelled on the Pre-Raphaelite principle of meticulous observation of nature, itself indebted to science, while individual artists designed architectural details and carved portrait statues of influential scientists. The entire structure was an experiment in using architecture and art to communicate natural  history, modern science and natural theology.

This beautiful volume sets out the history of the campaign to build the museum and takes the reader on a tour of art in the museum itself, from the façade and the central court, with their beautiful natural history carvings and marble columns illustrating different geological strata, to the pantheon of scientists, which today form the world's finest collection of Pre-Raphaelite sculpture.

The story of one of the most remarkable collaborations between scientists and artists in European art is told here with lavish illustrations.

Best no-show socks ever!
Size: 6-10, Color: Black
If you're tired of wearing socks that slip off and show in your sneakers, then you need to try these amazing socks! They are designed to stay in place, even after being active all day. They are incredibly soft and comfortable, and they are truly no-show, so you won't see them at all. I've been using these socks for years and have never had any issues. In fact, I love them so much that I've bought multiple packs, and my family members have started using them too. Don't waste any more time with those annoying socks that slip off and show - give these a try and you won't be disappointed!
