When the young Charles Darwin set sail on the H.M.S. Beagle, he had no idea what natural wonders awaited him, but his five-year journey turned out to be one of the most significant in human history. The animals, plants, rocks, and fossils that he faithfully described led to his theory of evolution by natural selection, and in turn, changed the way we think about life itself.

In this 1,000-piece puzzle, collage artist Maria Rivans celebrates Darwin’s journey with a glorious selection of its sights—from the giant tortoises of the Galapagos to the fossils of the Andes and, of course, the Beagle herself. 

An accompanying booklet identifies the fauna included and reveals the stories behind the images chosen for the puzzle.

Completed puzzle measures 19.25" x 27" (49 x 68.5 cm). The packaging is plastic-free.
