Why Radcliffe Camera matters
The Radcliffe Camera is a perfectly round, domed library that sits in the middle of Oxford's historic square. It is the symbol of the university, surrounded by college spires and the Bodleian Library. You can usually only admire it from outside, but guided tours of the Bodleian give a glimpse of the interiors.
Talking points
