Discover how synthetic biology is shaping our future through this multisensory experience!
Immerse yourself in the hidden beauty of the microbial world by viewing engineered cells that glow under UV light and listening to sounds from the rhythmic patterns of molecular biology.
After exploring the science, try your hand at "cellular" art using our UV printing blocks, and add your own artistic mark to a growing collaborative mural inside our glowing gazebo gallery.
