On the Origin of Species Wooden Decoration

Celebrate discovery, science and the work of a brilliant mind with this brilliant, year-round decoration.

The design resembles Charles Darwin’s famous book, opened up to show its green front cover, with our Museum logo and the year 2025 on the reverse. It’s lightweight and laser-cut from birch wood, sourced from sustainably managed forests in Finland.

On the Origin of Species was originally published in 1859 and in it, Charles Darwin proposes how wildlife developed and adapted, known as the theory of evolution by natural selection.
