| Event Name | Platonic Solids and Quasicrystals - Moments in the History of Crystallography |
| Start Date | 30th May 2013 |
| End Date | 4th May 2014 |
| Duration | 340 days |
| Description | This year's exhibition at Carolina Rediviva, Platonic Solids and Quasicrystals, is all about crystallography and shows how this science has been perceived over time. By collaborating with the Museum of Evolution at Uppsala University, we can exhibit books side by side with real crystals, models of crystals and instruments that have been used to measure the angles of these strange formations that seem to have been cut and polished by human hand whereas in fact they have been shaped by uniform atomic structures. Welcome on a beautiful journey through this collection of historical scientific books and artifacts. |
