Following In Darwin’s Footsteps

Well, okay, maybe not actually ‘In’ his footsteps, but it was as close as we’re going to get. What am I talking about? The Museum of Civilization here, in QC, has a wonderfully large exhibit courtesy of London’s Natural History Museum, featuring a selection of Darwin’s collection. Which, you should note, is vast. But what they loaned to us here, was pretty amazing, and we spent a good couple of hours taking it all in.

So yes, guess what, I have pictures. Lots of pictures. If you bore easily, now’s the time to leave.

First up, some of the ‘huge’ specimens on display:

All of this just makes me want to do a trip to London just to go see the ‘full’ collection at the Natural History Museum. Maybe, one day, right?
