Description:


Built between 1855 and 1860, Oxford University Museum of Natural History is the extraordinary result of close collaboration between artists and scientists. Inspired by John Ruskin, the architect Benjamin Woodward and the Oxford scientists worked with leading Pre-Raphaelite artists on the design and decoration of the building. The decorative art was modelled on the Pre-Raphaelite principle of meticulous observation of nature, itself indebted to science, while individual artists designed architectural details and carved portrait statues of influential scientists. The entire structure was an experiment in using architecture and art to communicate natural history, modern science and natural theology.

Temple of Science sets out the history of the campaign to build the museum before taking the reader on a tour of art in the museum itself. It looks at the facade and the central court, with their beautiful natural history carvings and marble columns illustrating different geological strata, and at the pantheon of scientists. Together they form the world's finest collection of Pre-Raphaelite sculpture. The story of one of the most remarkable collaborations between scientists and artists in European art is told here with lavish illustrations.

Sturdy and good price
Size: 10 Inch, Unit Count: 44
These plates a wide and sturdy. We use them everyday at home to minimize dirty dishes which makes cleaning really easy. We’ve had even stew on them which can be very soupy and they don’t leak and they don’t get soggy. It’s also a good price point for the amount of plates it comes with. Good for everyday use or for hosting as well

Paper plates are something you really need to shop around and these from Amazon are well made and priced to sell. They hold up well when we are looking to have a quick bite for lunch or a midday snack.

Great Lotion for the price
Size: 32 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I recently picked up the Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Hand & Body Lotion, and I have to say, it’s quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. The first thing I noticed was the rich, creamy texture. It glides on smoothly and doesn’t leave that greasy feeling that some lotions do, which is a huge plus for me. The cocoa butter scent is delightful but not overwhelming. It reminds me of a warm, cozy day, and it lingers just enough to be pleasant without being too much. I usually apply it after my showers, and my skin feels so hydrated and soft for hours afterward. I also appreciate that it comes in a big 32 oz size. I feel like I’m getting good value for my money, and I don’t have to worry about running out anytime soon. Plus, it’s versatile—perfect for both my hands and body. Overall, I’ve enjoyed using this lotion, and it’s definitely helped to keep my skin feeling moisturized, especially as the weather gets colder. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option that really delivers on hydration and has a lovely scent, I’d recommend giving this one a try!
