Not only do art and science mix, these events make you realize that the two were already united in the first place. Creation, the essence of art and the subject of scientific study, comes to the forefront and affects what we say, think and do. At UMMA, kids can use similar forms to register the genes that create the body parts they like most about themselves. They can also mix body parts from other works of art in the exhibit to create new organisms. Also at UMMA, the Hands-On Museum demonstrates how organisms with identical genetic instructions can look different.
Kids can also enter a contest to design a bookmark and listen to a story.
Adults can talk to researchers about the importance of molecular methods in their work. Admission is free, although donations are welcome . Return to Front Page . SGI Publications Website hosted by Whirligig Studios since 1995.
