Twice Life-Sized Bust of the Young Darwin, Sedgwick (Geology) Museum, Cambridge

Next Sculpture

Material: Bronze
Dimensions: Twice Life-Sized

The statue was commissioned by the Sedgwick Museum to celebrate the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Darwin - the bust was unveiled on the 6th of July 2009, by the celebrated Darwin expert Professor Janet Browne. It is an often neglected fact that, particularly in his early years, Darwin's main scientific interest was Geology; by far the most work that he did during the Voyage of the Beagle was in this field.
