En las últimas décadas se ha producido una revolución en las ciencias, con la explosión de las tecnologías genómicas, física cuántica, cambio climático o desarrollos tecnológicos en inteligencia artificial, redes o telecomunicaciones. Las artes han seguido un camino parecido, reflejando el mundo desde diferentes perspectivas y tecnicas y aplicando, en muchos casos, la ciencia a la hora de crear.Este catalogo contiene la exposicion "Arte y ciencia del siglo XXI". Organizada por el Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC), en el año de su 250 aniversario, y la Fundacion Arcilla, la exposicion busca recuperar esa relacion, uniendo en un mismo espacio el arte figurativo (pinturas y esculturas, muchas de ellas creadas expresamente para la exposicion) y una gran parte de la ciencia que se desarrolla en el Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC).
