What's On

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

 This will be a large community event celebrating our Future Season at the Rumble Museum, which explores a range of exciting technologies and themes, and ancient and modern ideas about the future. A full brochure can be downloaded here.

 There will be several discovery zones including: Classics and Archaeology, 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.

We are running an exciting 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!

Each week, we bring different artefacts and activities from our collections to handle and find out about.

The cafe will be running on the following afternoons in November and December:
