Dynamic Beauty in Science offers an appreciation of how cells move, divide and interact with one another. The video sequences presented were created through microscopy techniques such as live-cell imaging and 3D imaging which enable scientists to gain a deeper understanding of the complex organisation and dynamic processes within cells and tissues.

As a progressive cultural institution, the National Museum of Singapore embraces innovative integrations of culture and technology, in partnership with both cultural institutions and technology companies, to contribute to a more vibrant cultural landscape in Singapore.

Dynamic Beauty in Science is a partnership project between the Agency for Science Technology & Research’s (A*STAR) Office of Science Communications & Archives (OSCAR), the A*STAR Microscopy Platform (AMP), a core technology platform housed at the Skin Research Institute of Singapore, and the National Museum of Singapore.
