34: The Critical Raw Materials Shaping Our Future

The hidden materials behind everyday life are front and centre in the latest special exhibition at Oxford University Museum of Natural History (OUMNH), opening on Wednesday 17 June.

34: The Critical Raw Materials Shaping Our Future, reveals the hidden powers and global stories behind the 34 raw materials deemed essential to the UK’s future. Through case studies, historical and modern artefacts, and interactive installations, the free exhibition will open the eyes of visitors to the geopolitics, complex supply chains and human perspectives behind the minerals that make our modern lives possible. A lively programme of public events and workshops will invite visitors and communities to engage more deeply with the exhibition’s themes.

The exhibition is free to visit and can be accessed during the Museum’s normal opening hours. For more information, head to www.oumnh.ox.ac.uk, follow @morethanadodo on social media and read the Museum’s blog at www.morethanadodo.com.
