Darwin

A highlight in this year's celebrations for the bicentenary of Charles Darwin's birth, this exhibition looks at his ideas and their impact by retracing Darwin's journey aboard HMS Beagle on its five-year voyage to the Galápagos Islands and following clues that enabled him to develop his theory of evolution through natural selection. His notebooks and the fossils and specimens he collected are on display alongside family letters and other artefacts that aim to give a rounded picture of Darwin as a scientist and a family man.
