In pursuit of knowledge, scientists often unearth images of rare beauty elegantly explaining or encapsulating scientific concepts, ideas and discovery. The finest of these images form the Angstrom Art Collection, at the nexus of internationally competitive scientific research and artistic appeal. View the Centenary Collection assembled to celebrate UQ’s centenary and IMB’s 10th anniversary.

Location: UQ Art Museum [see map]

Historic and contemporary artworks will be juxtaposed in an exhibition that highlights the depth of collecting by The University of Queensland.  Ranging from the first artwork gifted to the University in 1929 – Mary Christison’s Self Portrait (c.1870) – to contemporary works by artists such as Rosella Namok and Xiao Xian Liu, the exhibition will draw on old favourites and little known gems.
