Periodic Table on Show Tour

The Periodic Table on Show

In an exciting project that uses art to describe the most fundamental and important document used by chemists, Australian artists have joined with chemists to produce a unique interpretation of each element of the 2010 IUPAC Periodic Table.

Chemists have prepared information on each element including its discovery, history, how it exists in nature and its modern day uses. This information was distributed to Australian artists who prepared individual prints of each element interpreting this information.

All prints were brought together at the end of the project to form a full Periodic Table, resulting in a multi-disciplinary educational resource that brings art, history and modern science together, all linked by the elements.

The Periodic Table on Show will be touring Australia in 2012, tour dates and venues are yet to be confirmed. We will update this page with date and venue information as soon as it becomes available.
