In 2009 the museum curated a large exhibition on Darwin the Geologist to coincide with the Darwin bicentenary celebrations.
The exhibition focused on Darwin's early geological research and displayed many of the specimens collected during the Beagle voyage.
The launch of the exhibition also saw the unveiling of a large portrait bust of the young Darwin.
The sculpture was created by the sculptor Anthony Smith and unveiled by Darwin historian Janet Browne.
