In December 2006 and January 2007 a group of children and scientists stayed on the Galápagos Islands to retrace Darwin’s footsteps. Organised by SISSA Medialab, this experience gave rise to a travelling exhibition.

Intended for young visitors or schools, the exhibition features images of the trip and nature in the Galápagos, as well as the children’s own stories. The exhibition has a companion illustrated children’s book.

Accompanied by full-scale models of iguanas, giant turtles, blue-footed boobies and sea lions, the teaching laboratories and multimedia stations enable children to explore evolutionary strategies and the laws governing the survival of species.
