Science and Stories: Science Oxford

The night sky has been the canvas for storytelling for all of human history, from the Stone Age Lascaux caves to the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, from the myths of Ancient Greece to the halls of Harry Potter’s Hogwarts.

Stories are a way of making information accessible to everyone; come and join us in our planetarium and find out how we are using the history of the story of the night sky.

We’ll give you a brief overview of our planetarium show, and give you an opportunity to become your own night-sky storyteller.
