Art in Science Gallery Gala: The intersection of image and research

When the realms of art and science intersect, what will emerge? View original, stunning and astonishing images of scientific investigation, and meet the scientists who created them. Spanning two spacious gallery rooms, the wonders of research and discovery are presented through photography, video, painting, sculpture, conversation and demonstration.
