Description

Voyage dans le cristal

In 2014, a travelling exhibition entitled Voyage dans le Cristal (Journey into the Crystal) will take visitors on a journey of discovery of matter − but also on a journey through time to the beginnings of crystallography.

A voyage of discovery

Through this Journey into the Crystal, the public will discover why crystals intrigue people so much, why they are so useful to science and why they play such an important role in our daily lives. The numerous applications of crystallography not only affect our lives but also help us to understand the world in which we live. 

First to host the exhibition was UNESCO in Paris, as a side event of the Opening Ceremony for the International Year of Crystallography. The exhibition has also been shown, or is planned for display, at many different venues through the world. Please contact Jean-Louis Hodeau if you are interested in staging this exhibition. You may also download the poster materials from this web site, if you wish to print copies for local display. Please let us know about your event, either by adding an entry to our calendar, or by sending a report and photographs to the IYCr2014 coordinator.

  • The complete exhibition (39 panels) exists in English, French and Spanish, and may become available in some other languages.
  • A short version of this exhibition (12 panels) exists in Arabic, Catalan, English, Flemish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Slovakian, Spanish and Turkish.
