Darwin 200—beyond the bicentenary

The Horniman Museum used the bicentenary of Charles Darwin’s birth to provide a focus for improving our communication with the public about biological sciences. The Darwin200 initiative provided support that facilitated our development of partnerships with the Grant Museum of Zoology, the Society of Biology (formerly the Institute of Biology), and £30K funding from the Wellcome Trust enabled us to offer an unusually diverse range of events, exhibitions and activities that relied on considerable collaborative working within the organisation and between partners.
