How the University of Pennsylvania celebrates the bicentennial of Charles Darwin's birth
In short: The Penn Museum and various Philadelphia organizations are launching a year-long series of public events dedicated to evolutionary theory. This exhibition tour, led by Dr. Janet Monge and Curious George, explores the legacy of the man who originated the modern theory of evolution.
The exhibition serves as the centerpiece for a city-wide initiative titled the Year of Evolution. This program runs from late April 2008 through May 2009, marking the upcoming 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth. The tour is designed to be accessible for both children and adults, providing a guided look at the themes surrounding Darwin's scientific contributions.
By coordinating with major cultural institutions across Philadelphia, the University of Pennsylvania aims to engage the public with the history and impact of evolutionary science through a diverse range of scheduled activities.
