Ideas that changed the way we viewed the world and with profound insights into the life of Charles Darwin as a scientist, the Darwin exhibition London show is a chance to follow in the footsteps of the evolutionary theorist as begins the journey that would change his life and the those around him forever.

From the days of his adventures aboard the HMS Beagle and his trip to the Galapagos Islands, visitors to the exhibition at Natural History Museum you can follow the same clues as Darwin that helped him develop his ideas, look at his notebooks and personal belongings, rare artefacts, fossils and zoological specimens. Here you can observe the same patterns in nature that Darwin found to that led to the publication of Origin of the Species and his evidence for the theory of evolution.

Providing a fascinating insight into his early workings and the very start of his theories, the Darwin exhibition also gives you the chance to explore the life of Charles Darwin the man, as well as the scientist.

Exploring the ways in which Darwin's theories are still very much relevant today, this part of the exhibition looks at the importance of understanding how infectious disease causing organisms keep changing as scientists and the medical world attempt to control their spread.
