The National Museum has a big exhibition opening today looking at Charles Darwin and how his ideas changed the world.
- Darwin illuminates the life of the iconic naturalist, geologist, and thinker, whose extraordinary ideas on evolution by natural selection were a critical turning point for science and culture and continue to be revolutionary more than a century after the publication of On the Origin of Species (1859).
Through artefacts, documents, film, interactive media, live animals and plants, as well as Darwin’s own personal items, this landmark international exhibition offers visitors a unique glimpse into Darwin’s intellectual and personal world and the experiences that first led him to formulate his groundbreaking theories.
It’s running from today to 29 March 2009.
