Drawing examples from her own experience as a scientist in an art museum, and on years of scientific research, Francesca Casadio will demonstrate how close encounters in art and science at the museum can increase our sense of empathy with artists as makers, and with each other, allowing visitors to relate to the human experience of creating art and the process of searching for meaning by exploring our global material culture.
