Science is a work of art

A CUSTOM-BUILT laboratory has been created in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh to house artwork of microscopic proportions.

As part of Cells: The Smallest Portraits exhibition, young people from James Gillespie's High School in Edinburgh – including 13-year-old Hamish Stewart, pictured –– and Penicuik High School created tiny portraits in this collaborative visual art and science project.
