Have you ever seen a microphotograph of a glittering gemstone that knocked you off your feet? How about an image from the Hubble Space Telescope that left in you in awe at the beauty of the universe?

Our Art + Science series is made up of family days for discovering the infinite ways that Art and Science intersect in our world, and for losing yourself in a day of games, workshops, and performance art.

Designers, artists and illustrators, from the Museum and beyond, will be on hand to talk about the many ways that art enriches our understanding of science — for instance, think about the artistry behind all those lifelike dioramas at your favorite museum (hint: that's us) bringing science to life.

On the flip side, we also look at how the laws of science play into the creation of our most fantastic works of art and how scientific inquiry leads to a deeper view of the natural world's inherent beauty.

So join us, and discover what Art + Science = for you!
