Darwin Day at Essig Museum

Celebrate Charles Darwin's 214th birthday February 12, 2023 (Sunday) at the Essig Museum. It is also Alfred Russel Wallace's 200th birthday (January 8th, 1823).

Along with our display of insects from around the world, we will also have exhibits of Galapagos finches, rodents, and a tortoise shell, as well as orchids, carnivorous plants and other species that Darwin studied.

To avoid overcrowding of our limited exhibit space we will be limiting the number of people per hour time slot. At the time of posting this event, all tours except the 3pm, and 4pm tours, are sold out. Click More Options under When and Where to select which time slot you would like to attend.

Attendees will meet their tour guide at the feet of the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton in the center of the Valley Life Science Building at UC Berkeley.
