Species

25 Apr 2009 - 27 Jun 2009

Darwin was the man who had the bassoon played to earthworms and the harmonica to orangutans to observe their reactions. His intriguing research methods will set the tone for this quirky exhibition that will show a range of creatures from the small and scaly to the large and hairy!

Displayed will be work by the Surrealist artist Patrick Woodroffe, who has created new and fantastic species by taking characteristics from distinct families of animals. The exhibition will also feature paintings and photo’s of Cornwall’s rich horticultural heritage.
