BIP : The Institut Pasteur Newsletter, November 24, 2017

The Institut Pasteur recently decided to ask Hervé Di Rosa, founder and director of the International Museum of Modest Arts in Sète, to reorganize and redesign the display cases in the "Salle des Actes". Hervé Di Rosa, a member of the Organoid project and a keen advocate of the Institut Pasteur's work, came up with the idea of a scientific and artistic exhibition that combines the history of Louis Pasteur and the scientists that succeeded him – together with their techniques and discoveries – with his own hybrid, multifaceted, fantastic artistic creations. Come along on Monday December 4, from 2 to 4pm
