San Diego Arts and culture – Darwin evolution and revolution

The San Diego Natural History Museum explores the life and work of Charles Darwin, the biologist whose revolutionary theories on natural selection and evolution changed the face of science forever. This year marks the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth and the 150th anniversary of the publishing of “On the Origin of Species“.

In addition to Darwin’s own manuscripts, notebooks, letters, artworks and personal objects, the exhibition also contains fossils, taxidermy mounts and living specimens, such as Galapagos turtles, green iguanas and intricate orchids that Darwin used when developing his revolutionary theories.
