MAJOR scientific advances made in Oxford are being celebrated in a new mural in East Oxford.

Artists from the Oxford Art Collective are producing the eye-catching design on the side of a building in Randolph Street.

The mural is being painted from the point of view of looking into a lab, with references to achievements made by some of the city’s greatest minds.

It is one of several community art projects being organised by Cowley Road Works, the group behind the annual Cowley Road Carnival.
