Science & Art
Reading Public Museum
Cost: Regular Admission Fees; Members Free (The Yocum Library has some free passes to check out)
What does Origami have to do with geometry? Why is a worm considered art to some? How is music created from a micro-chip? And how can a nanometer of water become a fun, interactive experience? All these questions and more will be answered in the new Science & Art exhibition. You can see, hear and interact with works of art that illustrate how science and art intersect in real life. As you make their way through the exhibit, you´re encouraged to listen to your inner scientist and indulge your inner artist.
Created by the Arkansas Discovery Network, this show is organized into five "mini" exhibits featuring projects created by artists who have specific masteries in scientific areas. The displays are designed to show that art and science aren´t the same thing but have much in common. You will also experience how art can be used to convey scientific ideas and phenomena and will experience science from a fresh point of view.
