According to the program booklet produced by the British Council, “Our international programme of activities… will provide an opportunity to explore the relationship between evolution and religion in an unprejudiced and open way.”

The Darwin Now exhibit is being shown in over 25 countries worldwide, notes the British Council’s official website. It is both colourful and informative, to be enjoyed by children and adults.
