Something remarkable is happening at the Radcliffe Observatory.
Our new film takes you behind the scenes to discover the extraordinary expertise, dedication and craftsmanship involved in conserving one of Oxford`s most significant buildings. With works progressing at pace, the Observatory is entering an exciting new chapter.
The Radcliffe Observatory was created through the generosity of one generation. Its survival depends on the stewardship of another. Its legacy will be inherited by generations yet to come.
Thanks to existing supporters, important progress is already being made. But there is still much to do.
Now, we have an opportunity to play our part in securing the Observatory`s future.
Be part of what comes next.
