The Darwin Now exhibition opened at the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia on March 4. Darwin Now is the British Council’s contribution to mark the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species. The exhibition consists of panels exploring Darwin’s life, his groundbreaking theory and his ideas. There’s also an interactive element around a central iconic tree, which allows visitors to share their own ideas about Darwin and evolution.
