Poets from Oxford and surrounding areas will read recent work inspired by the museum's collections, exhibitions and research.

Readings will be followed by an open mic session for which you can sign up on the door. All welcome, but if you would like to read in the main section, rather than the open mic, please contact Back Room Poets through their website and submit your poem in advance.An evening of natural history inspired poetry to celebrate National Poetry day 2018.
