All over the world, 2009 marks the year of Darwin. Charles Robert Darwin was in fact born 200 years ago in England. Fifty years later he published what was to become the seminal work for generations of biologists: The Origin of Species.

Science museums in the Canton of Vaud (botany, geology and zoology) are joining forces to offer a series of events centred around the exhibition Oh my God! Darwin and evolution.

The exhibition will be split into two parts:

• a permanent one with free admission in the Atrium of the Palais de Rumine
• a temporary one from October 30, 2009 to September 25, 2010 in the zoology museum, totally transformed for the occasion.

For more information on the exhibition and on the numerous events (conferences, films, theatre, ...) organised around this exhibition, consult the website:
