The Magnet Lab's atrium serves as the main entrance for researchers and others visiting the lab, but four times a year, it transforms into Ars Magna, a community art opening and ongoing show.
The goal of Ars Magna ("Great Art" in Latin) is to demystify science and make it more accessible to a different audience. Exhibits frequently feature artists affiliated with Florida State University or the scientific community, and attract people who wouldn't ordinarily think to visit the Mag Lab. While here, visitors take in the lab's permanent art installation, Magnetic Moment (download brochure in PDF format), and have an opportunity to see the lab's big magnets.
Upcoming Shows
- Opening April 2, 6-9 p.m.: Regionally and nationally recognized outsider artist Mark Miller will be showing 24 pieces of his extensive collection of homemade robots, engines and curiosities at the Magnet Lab during the citywide First Friday Gallery Hop. Don't miss the opening, when the artist will be present and the robots will be operational.
