The artwork that will adorn the ceiling of the first gallery at the Natural History Museum is a tree. Not, I'm afraid, the one we were bigging up the day after the launch of Darwin 200. But a tree nonetheless.
A "17 metre-long permanent installation" of a tree, "cut lengthways to include the roots, trunk and branches."
Wowsers.
Artist Tania Kovats' concept was selected by judges from 10 proposals and will be unveiled on what would have been Darwin's 200th birthday, 12 February 2009.
