The Quantum Leap is a sculpture situated next to the River Severn in Shrewsbury, it was unveiled in 2009 to celebrate the bi-cententary of the birth of evolutionist Charles Darwin, who was born in the town and unveiled by his great great grandson.
Designed by Ranbir Lal, of Pearce & Lal architects of Sutton Coldfield. The work is abstract, and due to its Darwinian theme is commonly interpreted as representing dinosaur bones, DNA, or a backbone.[and In local media, often in a negative sense, it has been nicknamed 'The Slinky' due to its perceived similarity to the coiled-wire toy. The sculpture consists of 59 segments measuring 12 metres (40 feet) in height, 17.5 metres (57 feet) in length, and weighs more than 113 tonnes, excluding foundations and piles, Each of the blades of the sculpture were made by Histon Concrete Products, based in Ely, Cambridgeshire
