Museums of Russia: The exhibition "Ten Years of the Second Century" opened to the 110th anniversary of the founding of the Darwin Museum

July 22, 2017 in the Darwin Museum was opened the exhibition "Ten years of the second century" to the 110th anniversary of the founding of the museum.

For the first time in honor of the 110th anniversary, the museum displays exhibits that have been entering the collection in the last 10 years. Visitors will see the most interesting "novelties" of the museum and investigate the detective mysteries of old exhibits.

The idea to create the first evolution museum in Russia belonged to the young professor of the Moscow Higher Women's Courses, Aleksandr Fedorovich Kotsu. Over 110 years the collections, which the founder of the museum collected with obsession together with his wife Nadezhda Ladigina-Kotts, rose to 400,000 items. More than 50,000 of them were received in the last 10 years

For the visitors of the exhibition, an educational program has been developed - intellectual contests for beginner collectors and experienced experts of the Darwin Museum, creative contests "I am a patron" and "Collection + concept = exposition". The best entries will be exhibits of the exhibition, and their authors will be awarded at the closing ceremony on November 26.
