2009 was Darwin's 200th Birthday and the 150th
Anniversary of "On the Origin of Species"
Embedded Exhibitions
Embedded Exhibitions spent years in delicate negotiations for access to one of the world's finest historically important private Charles Darwin collections to produce an inspiring and educational exhibition. The exhibit features a complete selection of First Edition books, artifacts, letters, papers, maps, lectures and more. These Darwin materials (valued at well over $1,000,000) have never been on public display before the creation of this exhibit. Coupled with this extensive collection are the historically significant specimens of Triebold Paleontology, Inc. in collaboration with the Natural History Museum London.

“This outstanding exhibition of original books, maps and artifacts from Darwin’s youth, voyage of the Beagle and scientific career is without doubt one of the finest exhibitions on Darwin in the world today.
These historic works, including a first edition of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, are in superb condition – far better than those normally seen in museums and libraries. With their original bright colors or rare paper covers, this exhibition brings the Darwinian revolution to life. The exhibition is accompanied by fully illustrated and informative boards. The beautifully illustrated brochure which accompanies the exhibition provides an excellent overview of Darwin’s life and theory of evolution.”
