Darwin collection to the Natural History Museum

The world's largest Charles Darwin book collection has been bought by the Natural History Museum for nearly £1m.

The Kohler Darwin Collection includes almost everything the naturalist published from 1829 onwards.

Antiquarians Chris and Michele Kohler amassed about 3,500 items, filling four rooms in their house, over 20 years.
