Charles Darwin: evolution of a scientist runs at The Manchester Museum from 3rd October 2009 to 30th August 2010
Father of modern biology, failed medical student, pigeon fancier: see Darwin as you have never seen him before in The Manchester Museum’s unique graphic novel-style exhibition
To celebrate the 150th anniversary this autumn of the publication of Darwin’s seminal book On the Origin of Species, The Manchester Museum presents Charles Darwin: evolution of a scientist. Combining large-scale illustrations in a graphic-novel style, designed by artist Chrissie Morgan, with fantastic objects – many collected and studied by Darwin himself – this exhibition showcases Darwin in a way he has never been seen before. It offers a modern take on Darwin’s published work promising to be the highlight of the Museum’s year-long Darwin extravaganza.
