What's on in Oxford

(Apart from WCDSL, of course!)

The Daily Information newssheet (which, in the typical Oxonian way, is weekly outside term-time) has listings of theatre shows, gigs etc during the week. If you're at a loose end and want to do something cultural, you might want to look at this. (It covers Friday to Thursday, so a new issue will be out on the last day of the conference.)

I can heartily recommend the recently-renovated Pitt Rivers anthropological museum, a treasure-trove of colonial artefacts, and the Natural History Museum that you pass through to get to it. If you're feeling a bit geekier, the Museum of the History of Science (the original site of the world's first public museum, the Ashmolean) has a new exhibition on architecture as mathematical practice - and it is just round the corner from the Bodleian Library, which has two exhibitions about book-binding on, and just across the road from Blackwell's bookshop. All of these sights are free.
