It took almost all summer, but I was able to finally make my over to the ROM the other day. Ever since I found out about the Darwin: The Evolution Revolution exhibit I have been trying to talk my friends into joining me on trip. Sadly, one of the side effects of growing up in this area is that from grade 1 through 8 you end up with a yearly trip to the Science Centre, ROM, AGO… etc… you get the idea. It makes people a little sick of it.
There was something for everyone. Interactive displays for children. Informative videos for the people who don’t want to read plaques all day. And Live Animals for people who love to shout “Oh my look, its alive!”. It was a nice mix of history and science. I personally learned some very neat things about Wallace’s Voyages I didn’t know about before, and it was very interesting to look at the letters between Darwin and Wallace, as well as the letters from Darwin and Wallace to their friends about how they felt about each other.
I would recommend you check it out while you still can and see the world of evolution before genetics and DNA. The exhibit closes Monday, August 4, 2008.
