Planting the Seeds of Genetics

The Field Museum, Chicago, in partnership with the Vereinigung zur Forderung der Genomforschung, Vienna, Austria, and the Mendel Museum, Brno, Czech Republic, developed this exhibition on Gregor Mendel, a 19th century friar and founder of the laws of heredity. The exhibition, which ran between 15th September 2006 to the 1st April 2007 at the Field Museum and then went on a North American tour, aimed to raise awareness amongst people of all ages of the importance of Mendel's work and how his discoveries influenced the development of genetics research. The exhibition incorporated most of the remaining artefacts from Mendel's life and provided five videos and ten hands-on activities to make the fundamentals of genetics accessible to all visitors. The exhibition also integrated contemporary works of art that explored genetics. The Museum's web site includes background information on the exhibition and Mendel with a photo gallery, visitor details, events and programmes, and educational resources.
