What's On

On Saturday 14th September, we will be running a specially extended Greek and Roman themed Museum Cafe between 10 and 5pm as part of Oxford Open Doors.

Drop into St Alban's Church on Charles Street, East Oxford, to explore a range of original and replica artefacts from the ancient world. There will be activities for all ages, as well as a chance to sit and have a cup of tea, coffee or squash, and enjoy our delicious brownies!

Our Museum Cafe is an exciting new project to open the historic building of St Alban's Church in East Oxford to the public.

Come and explore the fascinating history, art and architecture of this beautiful building, or simply drop to meet up and enjoy tea and cake at our pop-up cafe.

The Rumble Museum, in association with the Arthur C. Clarke Award, is delighted to announce a national science fiction competition for young people who would like to see their ideas turned into a short story by a professional science fiction author.  

 We are delighted to announce the Iris Festival of the Future on 25th March, 2020.

 This event will be a large community event celebrating our Future Season at the Rumble Museum and exploring a range of exciting technologies and themes.

 There will be five main discovery zones: Robotics & Artificial Intelligence, Medicine, Architecture and Design, Environment, and Science Fiction. Each zone will contain activities, stalls, exhibitions, workshops, and a wide range of visiting museums with artefacts to handle and explore. There will be robot shows throughout the event, as well as a cafe serving refreshments and hot and cold drinks.
