A new educational exhibit is a natural selection for families visiting Philadelphia.

"Darwin," the most comprehensive program ever mounted on this highly original naturalist, is on view at The Franklin Institute.

The exhibition features specimens, original manuscripts and memorabilia related to Darwin.

As part of the exhibit, the Institute's Tuttleman IMAX Theater is screening the film "Galapagos," which takes viewers on a journey to the islands where Darwin conducted much of his research.

Known for permanent attractions, such as the Fels Planetarium and a large-scale walk-through of the human heart, The Franklin Institute has embodied the spirit of Benjamin Franklin since 1934.

Over the years it has become a popular destination for those seeking interactive exhibits that are educational, entertaining and family friendly. "Darwin" remains on view there through December 31, 2006.
