Have you heard about our new competition for 8-11 year olds?

We're inviting 8-11 year olds to create a new 21st Century portrait of Carl Linnaeus to replace our current portrait while it goes away for a while. The winning portrait will hang in the centre of our historic Meeting Room (see above) for at least 2 months. It was at a Meeting of the Linnean Society that Darwin and Wallace's 'Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection' was presented for the first time.
