Quantum Leap was unveiled in 2009 to mark Charles Darwin’s bicentenary. The reformed stone sculpture is located in a small garden alongside the River Severn. The abstract sculpture represents Darwin’s ground breaking scientific ideas and his impact on the scientific world.
Shrewsbury is Darwin's place of birth, home, & inspiration.

"The sculpture is an impressive 12 metres high and 17.5 metres long, weighing in at more than 100 tonnes. The design itself is open to interpretation and has already been likened to a shell, human vertebrae, DNA, a dinosaurs skeleton and more. Jon King, Darwin coordinator explains: “What we wanted was an iconic structure – something that was big, was bold, but something that could be interpreted in different ways.” Text Source: (visit link)
