It was a wonderful exhibit. As noted in the article, it has now been replaced by another gorgeous "Art of Science" show:
'The "Art of Science" series was started about 18 months ago with an exhibit of 200 year old botany drawings and pressings. The fish x-rays will be on display through the end of July, and will be followed by "A Many-Colored Glass: Ethereal Images of Microscopic Marine Life," an exhibit of colorized photomicrographs of diatoms which opens August 7.'
