John D. Wiley Gallery for Art in Science
Coming in Summer 2025!
The John D. Wiley Gallery for Art in Science will be a unique space where art meets science, sparking curiosity and wonder in every visitor.
Housed in the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, this gallery will be embedded in a building filled with cutting-edge research, and will provide a new perspective and medium for the community to learn about and enjoy scientific exploration.
Here, visitors will explore the intersection of artistic creativity and scientific discovery through carefully curated wonders inspired by the ground-breaking research happening above and below. This collection will celebrate the beauty of natural patterns, the elegance of mathematical forms, the mystery of the cosmos, and more as it relates to the past, present, and future of WID.
We hope to invite you to immerse yourself in these installations that illustrate the forces of nature and the power of science.
