Darwin Ceiling at the Museum

By clock on June 14, 2008.

Anne-Marie found this article:

London's Natural History Museum is to decorate the ceiling of one of its major rooms with a permanent art installation, inspired by evolutionary theory, in honour of Charles Darwin's bicentennial. The 10 shortlisted entrants have now been announced and their ideas are on display.

You can see a slideshow of the proposals, but the article does not say exactly who is doing the choosing. Some internal committee, public at large?

Which proposal do you like the best? Perhaps we can influence the choosers if we write about this all over the blogs.
