Ever wondered how Darwin worked? To celebrate Darwin’s 211th birthday we are launching For the Curious, a series of simple interactives that explore different areas of Darwin’s life, work and legacy through his letters.

We start with ‘Darwin working from home’, in which you can explore objects from Darwin’s study and garden at Down House to learn how he worked and what he had to say about it. Not all his work days were successful, here are some letters about Darwin's bad days.
