Exhibition: Deconstructing patterns

The patterns found in nature have fascinated both scientists and artists throughout history. We can all see and appreciate spots on a leopard or the spirals of seashells. But the Crick’s latest exhibition focuses on the lesser-known microscopic patterns encountered by molecular biologists.

Deconstructing patterns follows last year’s Open for discovery exhibition and the format is similar, showcasing some of the research that happens at the Crick and giving a voice to the people behind it. But this time the institute has teamed up with artists and other organisations to bring visitors a more ambitious offering.
