"Darwin: How One Man's Theory Turned the World on its Head"

Organized by the American Museum of Natural History in New York in collaboration with a host of other top-notch institutions, “Darwin: How One Man’s Theory Turned the World on its Head” offers a “provocative exploration of the life and discoveries” of the father of evolution. Making its first Texas stop at the Witte, the touring exhibition offers a window into the British naturalist’s world through replicas of his personal effects, a reconstruction of his study, film, fossils, interactive media, and all sorts of specimens to examine, including a reproduction of a glyptodon skeleton — a Volkswagen Beetle-sized relative of the armadillo that gave up on being among the fittest about 10,000 years ago.
