This exciting new exhibition explores Darwin’s life, how he came up with his ground-breaking theory, and how his ideas are still relevant today. The exhibition sheds light on contemporary reactions to Darwin’s theories of evolution and how advances in fields as diverse as geology and economics influenced his thinking. The exhibition explores the importance of the theory of evolution to the contemporary world and modern science and highlights the work of several UK-based researchers who are pushing back the boundaries of evolutionary science.
The exhibition was launched in Korea and Hong Kong in November 2008 and will be shown in over 25 countries worldwide throughout 2009. If you can’t manage to visit the exhibition in person, have a look at the online version, or download the exhibition booklet.
