Steampunk Art @ Oxford Museum of the History of Science

Oxford University's Museum of the History of Science (http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/steampunk/) is hosting an exhibition of Steampunk Art as demonstrated by this image from the - somewhat scatty, but interesting - blog dedicated to the event.

The exhibition is on now until February 2010. I haven't been yet but intend to go this weekend.

The museum itself is pretty amazing and is the original site of Elias Ashmoel's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elias_Ashmole) museum (now housed at the other end of Broad St and around the corner in the grandest of Oxford's buildings). I would advise anyone to pop in and take a look.

If you get no further than the awe inspiring staircase I am certain that you would consider the time well spent.

Check out this steampunk house - built in 1833 and expanded in 1877, this home was completely renovated and modernized, yet still retains old-world design:

Wow! Thanks, Jay (@onsitestudios) - that house looks amazing! (Not to mention Munsters-like!)
