This event will take place at the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute in New York on November 14th from 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM —at 19 Washington Square North.

The lecture will explore how crystallography, beyond its scientific impact, has profoundly influenced various art forms, including literature, painting, architecture, dance, music, and cinema.
