Went to the Natural History Museum in Oxford today and saw this.

It’s called the Torus of Time by Scottish artist Angela Palmer, and is made from rocks from all four nations of the UK, ranging from 3 billion year old Lewisian gneiss to a glacial boulder (2.5 million years - 10,500 years old).

If you look closely at the architectural columns around the museum, they are all similarly-labelled geological specimens, showing their origins eg, “The Lizard, Cornwall”. #geology #sculpture #museum
