World Art Day, a celebration to promote the development, diffusion and enjoyment of art, was proclaimed at the 40th session of UNESCO\u2019s General Conference in 2019. Art nurtures creativity, innovation and cultural diversity for all peoples across the globe and plays an important role in sharing knowledge and encouraging curiosity and dialogue, as stated on UNESCO World Art Day webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One in-house extraordinary example of the art\/science crossover theme is a limited-edition showcase<\/a> of protein-inspired artwork by teenagers from across Europe, created as part of SEPE EMBL\u2019s Unfold Your World<\/a> project, and now on display at The World of Molecular Biology exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring crochet cats, giant medusa heads and a 3-D protein flower bouquet, the collection will be displayed until the end of summer only. EMBL staff can book a general public visit<\/a> or a Friends and Family tour<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Praising the endless interaction and synergies of science and the arts, and aiming to inspire more fantastic projects ahead of the World Art Day 15.4.2025, the Szil\u00e1rd Library collection is enriched with the new titles on these topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
