In 2025 and 2026, DANDRITE will host a traveling exhibition showcasing artistic works created by our researchers. These pieces are visual interpretations of the brain’s structures and functions, inspired by microscopy, 3D models, dissections, and behavior studies.

Each artwork offers a unique glimpse into the brain’s hidden world, transforming neurons and synapses into powerful images that blend science with aesthetics. The exhibition invites viewers to see the brain not only as a scientific subject but also as a source of beauty, where art and neuroscience intersect.

The exhibition will travel between various venues in Aarhus. If you have a space that could host the exhibition, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us!
