The Radcliffe Camera, built in 1737-1749 to house the Radcliffe Science Library, was funded by John Radcliffe and designed by James Gibbs. It now houses part of the collection from the Bodleian Library.

Since 1988 Timothy Richards has been creating precise, exceptionally beautiful British Gypsum plaster architectural models from his workshop in Bath, England, incorporating etched brass, white metal, copper, hand-made glass, and gold, where required. Educated in Bath, Richards has received commissions for his finely crafted and detailed models from the Royal Opera House, The Victoria & Albert Museum, the Courtauld's Gallery, Harvard University, the US Department of State, the House of Commons, the Spanish Government, and members of the Royal British Family.
