Mongolian National Modern Art Gallery hosted nano art exhibit in November 2013

I’m sorry I didn’t hear about this in a more timely fashion but it will be featured regardless as this is the first time I’ve had an opportunity to write about Mongolia and nanotechnology.. From the Nov. 27, 2013 article by B.Tungalag for The UB (Ulaanbaatar) Post (Mongolian national independent English weekly),

“Nano World” Science Art Exhibition was unveiled at the Mongolian National Modern Art Gallery on November 11. The Association of Developing Mongolian Modern Art and The Mongolian National Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology jointly organized the exhibition. The purpose of the exhibition is to give context about the development of nanotechnology and its importance through art. The show featured the best artworks from participants of the “Science as Art” competition, which has been organized by the Materials Research Society in the USA since 2006, and artwork by the famous Swiss artist and photographer, Fabian Oefner. The exhibition will be open for only three days, and closes on November 13.

Here are a few of the images that were featured,

The article includes this information about Mongolia’s ‘national nanotechnology center’,

About the National Center of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
The National Center of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology was established in 2008. The main objective of the National Center of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is to search and discover the structure of atomic molecules through nanoscience and the study of gravity. The center observes open cooperation with contract researchers.

I am unable to find a website for the center but I was able to locate the Mongolian National Modern Art Gallery (or the English language version of the website).
