SUMMARY:Art Walk: Molecular Biology Building
DESCRIPTION:Ever noticed the 12-foot figures standing guard atop the Molecular Biology Building? Those are G-Nomes (gnomes + genomes, yes really), and they hint at one of campus’ most elaborate public art installations. Artist Andrew Leicester researched genetic engineering debates, talked to scientists, and filled the entire structure with visual puns and scientific references. It’s playful, it’s scientific, and somehow it all works together as the largest single-artist public art collection on campus. No science background needed—just curiosity about the hidden gems scattered across campus.\nArt Walks are a regular event series highlighting the University Museums’ Art on Campus Collection, offering audiences the opportunity to explore the breadth of public art across Iowa State University’s campus. Led by University Museums staff or docents, these guided tours are free and open to the public. For parking and accessibility information, please visit the University Museums website.\nMeet inside the Molecular Biology Building, Lobby\nThis guided tour will move between indoor and outdoor areas. In case of inclement weather, the tour will be moved indoors.\n \n
