Molecular Muse

Explore "Molecular Muse," located at the Vanderbilt Fine Arts Gallery and embedded through the biomedical research space. A manifestation of the last four years of the VI4 Artist in Residence program, this exhibit showcases the efforts of talented undergraduate artists nationwide. Drawing from cutting-edge scientific research, these emerging artists embarked on a journey to convey the profound elegance found in the pursuit of knowledge and scientific discoveries. The displayed works range from intricate delicacies of cellular architecture to the breathtaking vastness of knowledge, encapsulating the diversity and complexity of research within the VI4 Research Space, the School of Medicine Basic Science research laboratories, and beyond.
