The phrase 'science and art' is familiar to us all these day. So to keep on top of what that means - to the industry and to the visiting public - is the continuing challenge of Science Gallery's travelling exhibitions. By taking a same-but-different approach, how do things change if we look at it as 'art and science'? Science Gallery is taking it's newest travelling exhibitions in a slightly different direction, while carefully maintaining its aim at a 15-25 year old target audience, it's also working with new creative partners like MoMA and CCCB. These new exhibitions are aiming at new markets to connect with new audiences while ensuring the collision of discipline remains.

- M.C. Escher, Infinite Universes: Escher (1898-1972) is a difficult artist to be classified. He created visual games from studying shapes in reality and he translated these to paper in order to explore the limits of the flat surface. This exhibition reveals the ambiguous nature of his graphic production. - Megalithic and cave art: Western Sahara, 10,000 years ago, was a vast savannah with extensive grasslands inhabited large mammals such as giraffes, elephants, hippos, rhinos and gazelles. Today there are numerous traces and vestiges attesting it. Some of these remains can be seen in this Touring exhibition.

Wonder Materials: Graphene and Beyond. Wonder Materials: Graphene and Beyond takes the audience on a scientific journey of discovery through the past, present and into the potential future of graphene. First isolated by scientists in 2004, graphene is invisible to the naked eye, thinner than a human hair and 200 times tougher than steel. Made up of single layer of carbon, graphene is super lightweight, super conductive and super strong. This ground-breaking turnkey exhibition introduces visitors to brilliant scientists and artists exploring the cutting edge of materials technology and uncovers the wonders of a two-dimensional world. Wonder Materials showcases fascinating objects, photographs and films to highlight the playfulness, dedication and international collaboration among scientists researching applications for this and other wonder materials. Visitors are encouraged to look at the links between science and industry, and consider how new two-dimensional materials can change the world.

-2 Million Years Migration- By drawing attention to the earliest history of human evolution, the exhibition shows that migration has always been an integral part of human existence – it is not a contemporary phenomenon. Experts from different scientific fields come together within a multidisciplinary research programme. An important aim is to create awareness for how archaeology can help us grasp contemporary societal challenges.

New travelling exhibition from the Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology. Renowned and without doubt unrivalled to this day, is the contribution of the ancient Greeks to the field of Philosophy and the Fine Arts. Likewise familiar is their contribution to the field of Science. However, the technology of the ancient Greeks is relatively unknown, just as is their incredible performance in this field. An exhibition displaying the ancient Greek technological marvel (from the "robot - servant" of Philon to the "cinema" of Heron and from the automatic clock of Ktesibios to the analogue computer of Antikythera) covering the period from 2000 BC until the end of the ancient Greek world. www.kotsanas.com
