Darwin's rEvolution Exhibit in Burling


Few works have been as influential or controversial as Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection. To commemorate the 150th anniversary of its publication, and the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth, this exhibition of materials from the Libraries’ Department of Special Collections showcases our first edition of The Origin of the Species, and works which influenced or were influenced by Darwin’s theory of evolution. The exhibition will be on display through August on Burling Library first floor and Burling Gallery (basement).
