"Darwin," an in-depth exhibition dedicated to the highly original naturalist, Charles Darwin, and his theory of evolution by natural selection, opens at Great Lakes Science Center June 27 and runs through Sept. 19. This comprehensive exhibition features specimens, artifacts, manuscripts and memorabilia related to Darwin. 2009 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publishing of Origin of Species.
The Science Center is collaborating with several organizations, including Case Western Reserve University, ideastream, Cleveland Museum of Natural History and Cuyahoga County Public Library.
"Darwin" offers visitors an engaging and enlightening exploration of the extraordinary life and mind of Charles Darwin (1809-1882), whose curiosity, observations and discoveries nearly 150 years ago forever changed the perception of the origin and nature of our own species, as well as the myriad of other species on this planet, and launched modern biological science. Visitors experience the wonders Darwin witnessed on his journey as a curious and adventurous young man aboard the HMS Beagle on its historic five-year voyage (1831-1836) to South America, the Galápagos Islands, and beyond.
