Marcy, your exhibit about the intersection of Victorian-era science and the humanities was fascinating. I admire the approach of comparing the "evolution" of the Norton Critical Editions of Darwin over the years, pun intended. Even when I look back at my literature anthologies from high school and my first years of college, they have changed so much compared to my current copy of the Norton Anthology (the 7th edition).
The Ruse text also caught my attention because of its interdisciplinary approach, and its inclusion of a popularized perspective.
You should share your exhibit with Dr. Anna Jones, I think she would love it.

Like you, Jay Jay, I latched onto Marcy's description of the "evolution" of our critical understanding of Darwin and was immediately intrigued.
My initial search (of which I have not made an exhibit) was for objects related to technology, and I found some similar discussions of changing perceptions of technology throughout the Victorian era as you did with science, Marcy.
