Additional information

Dive into the world of Alfred Russel Wallace at this science-packed birthday party. In celebration of the bicentenary of Wallace’s birth, Harvard scholars and guest speakers will introduce his key contributions to our understanding of evolution, biodiversity, and biogeography. While unjustly relegated to a footnote in the Charles Darwin story, Wallace was, in fact, a pioneering biologist in his own right. Lacking Darwin’s privilege and wealth, he refused to let these obstacles prevent him from pursuing his scientific dreams. We’ll also be celebrating Wallace’s personal connection to the museum: he visited in 1886 and wrote excitedly about how its displays provided the best possible introduction to evolution. 

$15 members and Harvard ID holders/$20 nonmembers. Ticket includes full access to museum galleries and a special Wallace-themed mocktail or cocktail. Additional beverages will be on sale. Guests must be 21+ to consume alcoholic beverages. Valid government ID is required. Advance registration required by April 21. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage.
