We are all connected

Evolution is the invisible driving force behind all life. For this permanent gallery at Naturalis, Designwolf joined forces with various specialists to make the invisible visible.

By placing your hand on the 3.7 billion-year-old stone in the center of the room, you activate a light and sound system that responds differently to each touch. In that moment, you are connected to the stone that is almost as old as life itself. The evolution gallery makes it clear that we are connected to the origin of life, and that we are related to all life around us.
