Retrace his life-changing journey as a curious and adventurous young man aboard HMS Beagle. The voyage was a mission to chart the coastline of South America, and its famous visit to the Galapagos Islands. Follow the clues that helped him develop his ideas. See his notebooks, artefacts, rare personal belongings and the fossils and zoological specimens collected on his travels. Discover the patterns he observed among species and the evidence he gathered for his 'shocking theory of evolution by natural selection' as published in 'On the Origin of Species'.
Exhibition: War and Medicine
Venue: Wellcome Collection
Location: London
The extremity of the battlefield has accelerated scientific developments resulting in some of medicine’s greatest triumphs such as the pioneering plastic surgery techniques developed on injured WWII RAF pilots. But the darker side of human nature has found ‘opportunities’ in war for immoral medical experiments and even genocide.
Beginning with the disasters of the Crimean War and continuing through to today’s conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, we highlight the personal experiences of surgeons, soldiers, civilians and nurses and ask what lessons modern society can learn from the extreme circumstances of warfare.

As an artist who was never without his sketchbook, watercolours and pencils, Ludovic-Rodo was able to capture some wonderfully spontaneous scenes, giving us unique view of London and its suburbs, including Piccadilly Circus, Fleet Street, Hammersmith, Bedford Park, Richmond and Kew, and the exhibition includes a wonderful series of almost caricature-like watercolours depicting life during and just after the First World War
