Our World
Under a Microscope
For Professor Anne Rios, it happened in a lab looking at muscle cells from a chicken embryo.
She had engineered them to light up, looked through a microscope, and stopped breathing.
What she saw was not just science.
It was art.
From that moment on,
a deep sense of wonder drove her discoveries in microscopy,
and the fight against cancer.
With Tiny Revelations,
Anne & her team would like to share this sense of wonder with you.
Come discover the art of life,
and the stories behind the latest breakthroughs in cancer research
at the Princess Maxima Center for Children's Oncology.
What to Expect
Tiny Revelations is a free-to-visit exhibition about where science meets art. It is based on the ground breaking work of Anne Rios and her team in the fight against cancer.
At the exhibition, you will learn about how we can study tumors more accurately by growing your organs outside of your body, for instance.
Or how developments in immunotherapy don't focus on trying to destroy cancer, but on your own body's natural defenses.
Above all, you will experience the wonder of life at it's tiniest scale, and discover that science and art are deeply intertwined.
And who knows?
Maybe you will even walk out with a tiny revelation yourself.
