DarwIN Shrewsbury Festival

Shropshire Museums are proud to present a series of three short films which were created to celebrate the life of the evolutionary theorist, Charles Darwin as part of the 2021 DarwIN Shrewsbury Festival.
The three films are ‘Taking Stock of the World: Foundations of Shropshire Museums and Nineteenth Century Collecting’, ‘The Darker Side of Museums: Over Collecting and Perceptions’ and ‘Extinction: How Our Museum Collections Reflect Our Planet’s Changing Biodiversity’.
Each film has an accompanying ‘Fact Sheet’ that contains more information and sources for further research.
