Molecules That Matter showcases ten organic molecules (aspirin; isooctane; penicillin G; nylon 6,6; polyethylene; DNA; progestin; DDT; Prozac; and buckminsterfullerene) that profoundly altered our world.
Using large-scale models of the molecules, contemporary artworks by nationally recognized artists, and a range of historical objects and documents, this exhibition connects one molecule to each decade of the twentieth century, according to the molecule’s date of discovery or period of historical impact.
Molecules That Matter will be open from 18 August 2008 to 9 January 2009. Click here to view pictures and get more information.
