From June 8th onwards, the exhibit Designers & Artists 4 Genomics can be visited at Museum Naturalis in Leiden. This exhibit shows the artworks made by the four winners of a Designers & Artists 4 Genomics Award 2011-2012. 

The artworks are all product of a collaboration between young artists or designers with scientists from one of NGI's genomics centres. The resulting objects are a form of Bioart: art made by using live organisms or materials. The four winners won the award based on a project plan. The past months have been used to realize the artwork. Click here for more information on the winning projects.
