This weekend saw the opening of our new exhibition ‘Charles Darwin: evolution of a scientist’. The opening was held on Friday night with Peter Saville providing the opening speech along with our Museum Director Nick Merriman.
Come along to the exhibition and do let us know what you think. There will be lots of related events for everyone so check the website often! We have also seen some great press pieces, here is one from BBC Manchester.
Below is a short clip from Peter Saville’s speech filmed at the opening.
