John Gould
With the obsession of a collector, an eye for artistic talent, and a generous infusion of entrepreneurial spirit, John Gould succeeded in creating one of the most recognisable and long-lasting brand names in natural history. Explore the scientific, artistic and commercial activities of this legendary 'bird man'. Learn about Gould's passion for discovering and classifying birds and how this influenced Charles Darwin's thoughts on the theory of evolution. The John Gould website grew out of the John Gould Inc. exhibition that was held at the Museum in 2004. The exhibition was to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Gould (1804-1881).
