Here is a huge evident illustration of Charles Darwin's theory: dozens of thousands of exhibits, each of them harbouring long history.
Any European state could envy the richness this museum's expositions and funds: there is no bigger and fuller collection on the entire continent today. Experts say that one month is not enough to visit all the excursions provided by the Darwin Museum. They are interesting to all — from kindergarten kids to grandparents.
All the excursions are divided into four categories: for children below 10 years of age, for high school pupils, for senior students and adults. For each group there is a special route selected and sometimes guides appear in front of visitors in absolutely unexpected images, such as fairy tale Roly-Poly or a harmful microbe.
Some of the excursions take place in the main hall, and there is an additional exhibition complex as well. Apart from expositions dedicated to Charles Darwin's theory there take place art exhibitions and charity projects here. Little zoologists' collections also displayed here happen to be even more interesting than adults' works.
University Museum
It is not a coincidence that visitors often call this place so: here it is possible not only to take a look at unusual exhibits. People come her for acquiring knowledge and skills, satisfying curiosity and becoming real zoologists. Not for nothing it repeatedly takes leading positions in ratings of the most active and popular museums for visits of parents and children alike. It is worth coming here with the whole family.
