An online crowdfunding campaign for the Museum of Oxford is scheduled to end at 10am tomorrow morning, but so far it has only raised £1,220 of its £10,000 target.

Oxford City Council said the funds were needed for specialist conservation and transportation of several artefacts for display at the museum, which is in the process of a major expansion.
Items included a bank note from the Old Bank Hotel in central Oxford, a piece of armour discovered in a river in Oxford and an old Oxford police uniform.
Last week city councillor Mary Clarkson warned that the objects 'might remain hidden forever' if the museum cannot afford to conserve them.
