Made through time and tales, a glimpse into extraordinary journeys and remarkable achievements. From the ill-fated expedition of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror in 1845 to the groundbreaking discoveries of Rosalind Franklin, 'made' echoes resilience and innovation. Witness the valor displayed during the Defence of Chateau de Hougoumont at the Battle of Waterloo, where bravery shaped history. Captain Francis Crozier's leadership aboard HMS Terror leaves an indelible mark on maritime exploration. Dating back to 1675, Balliol College and Lincoln College stand as testaments to enduring knowledge and academic excellence. Unveiling ancient mysteries, the Mask of Tutankhamun reveals craftsmanship beyond its time. Anna-Maria Taigi's prophetic abilities remind us that destiny is often made by those who can see beyond what others perceive. Maps from Australia in the 1860s depict a nation being shaped by exploration and discovery. Adorned in armor, a Chukchi Warrior embodies strength forged through battles fought for survival. Sir Richard Francis Burton's audacious expeditions redefine what it means to be 'made' for adventure. Pembroke College stands tall since 1675 as a haven for intellectual growth and enlightenment.
