A statue of Charles Darwin sits in what London museum?

The story behind the answer

Natural History Museum. A seated statue of Charles Darwin presides over the museum’s grand hall in South Kensington (Hintze Hall), symbolizing his foundational role in biology. First unveiled in 1885, the statue was returned to its central position for Darwin’s 200th birthday in 2009, greeting visitors as they enter a museum dedicated to life, evolution, and Earth’s history—topics Darwin revolutionized.

Remember it this way: Darwin = natural selection → Natural History Museum. The British Museum focuses on human antiquities, the Science Museum on technology and engineering, and the Tate on art—none align as directly with Darwin’s work.
