The evolution of the eye is one of the most important developments known to biological science. The position and structure of the eye has such an impact on the animal that it belongs to. This can be how it lives in a specific environment, such as how it feeds, how it navigates its way and how it finds food and a mate. This exhibition shows a series of high quality, beautiful images that allow visitors to appreciate how a wide variety of different types of eyes can be found within nature and how they are used.
