There is a preserved blackboard[1] with Einstein's writing and a plaque[2] with explanation in the Museum of the History of Science[3] at Oxford.

Anyone around the Oxford area, I recommend the History of Science museum. It has a fantastic collection of scientific, medical and navigational instruments, experiments, and general science paraphernalia.

Seconded. Went to visit earlier on in the year while I was in Oxford for a weekend. Popped in to get out the rain, stayed for most of the afternoon.

There is a ton of interesting artefacts from all manner of sciences, including some gruesome medical tools from days gone by. There's nothing like a leech as cure-all medication.

Yes, I particularly enjoyed the historical operating theaters scenes

And for LOTR and Narnia fans you can visit the Pub the Inklings met the Eagle and Child.
