Darwin Painting to Rival Sistine Chapel Next Year

Interesting piece from the Times about plans being developed by the UK’s Natural History Museum to create a painted ceiling to rival the Sistine Chapel. As the story goes, the museum has put together a shortlist of artists, including some Turner Prize award winners, to paint the ceiling with all sorts of evolutionary principles, in celebration of Charles Darwin‘s two hundredth birthday. Once the winners are picked out, they’ll have less than a year to get it all done, as the museum is apparently hoping to unveil it by next February.
