The exhibits are for sale and have been donated by Richard Dawkin's wife Lalla Ward so that proceeds go straight into conservation.<br /> <br /> If any one is interested in coming along then it will be fascinating. The illustrations by Lalla were done for Richard's books and he has hand written annotations to the exhibits - they all inspired from their trip to the Galapagos islands.<br /> <br /> All very darwinian but should also be very interesting and loads of info on the great work that Durrell are doing!<br /> &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt;
