Description

Einstein & Darwin
Two major exhibits together for the first time.
Opening October 9th, the Einstein and Darwin exhibitions are the most comprehensive exhibitions ever presented about the life and times of the two icons.
The Einstein exhibition illustrates how Albert Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity paved the way to unleashing atomic energy, his work on the photoelectric effect led directly to the development of vacuum tubes and integrated circuits and eventually to the computer revolution, and, how his explanation of Brownian motion created a new understanding of the size and shape of molecules that ultimately helped to unlock the secrets of DNA.
Darwin exhibition offers an engaging and enlightening exploration of the extraordinary life and mind of Charles Darwin whose curiosity, observations and discoveries nearly 150 years ago forever changed the perception of the origin and nature of our own species as well as the myriad of other species on this planet and launched modern biological science.
