The Genius of Genetics
A Celebration of Gregor Mendel Through Art and Science
  
St Thomas Abbey, Brno, Czech Republic, 2002-2003
Curated by Marina Wallace and Caterina Albano 
 
This exhibition project and its related publication go beyond the romantic myth of the cloistered monk undertaking incongruous experiments with peas; they look at Mendel's background and the driving force behind his scientific discovery.
 
The exhibition explores Mendel the man and what led to the formulation of his laws of heredity setting the history of genetics within our contemporary context, involving in the debate scientists and artists in an innovative and stimulating way.

The exhibition travelled at the 2003 Science of Festival in Genova Gregor Mendel: Il Genio della Genetic, and is now a permanent of the Mendel Museum, Brno, Czech Republic. 
 
The Mendel Museum has been recommended by Lonely Planet Eastern Europe Guide.
