March 2008 sees exhibition on Charles Darwin at Toronto's Royal
Ontario Museum.
Darwin: the Evolution Revolution
March 8 to August 4, 2008
Garfield Weston Exhibition Hall
The most in-depth exhibition ever mounted on Charles Darwin!
From his early years as a naturalist and his education in medicine and
theology, to his groundbreaking voyage aboard the HMS Beagle, follow
Darwin's path as he develops his ideas about evolution, insights which
became the cornerstone of modern biology.
Discover why it took so long for Darwin to publish his observations in
South America and on the Galapagos Islands in his groundbreaking book,
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. Find out why
he was both revered and condemned for his views on evolution, and
learn about the impact of his ideas on science and society today.
Highlights include live Galápagos tortoises and horned frogs from
South America along with fossil specimens collected by Darwin himself.
Darwin is organized by the American Museum of Natural History, New
York, in collaboration with the Museum of Science, Boston; The Field
Museum, Chicago; the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada; and the
Natural History Museum, London, England.
