Robert Lang, physicist and origami artist

ROBERT LANG - Physicist and origami artist, featured in our new exhibit SCIENCE & ART

From the time he was a child Robert Lang was passionate about rendering beautiful figures from nothing but a square of paper. His skill in folding origami and in mathematicsled him to become one of the pioneers of a branch of origami known as origami sekkei, or‘technical origami” in which computer algorithms aid in the creation of crease patterns for highly complex sculptures. In 2004 he became a full-time origamiartist, after nearly three decades as a physicist and engineer, during which he authored or co-authored over 80 technical publications and was awarded 40 patents involving semiconductor lasers, optics, and integrated optoelectronics. Robert Lang is recognized as a master in the rarified world of origami artists.

Science and Art

There's a new exhibit coming on May 9 to the Museum....called Science and Art! This promises to be an AWESOME exhibit.

Here's a model of what the exhibit will look like. Come to the Museum to see the real thing!


This is a behind the scenes look at one of the parts of hte exhibit being designed. The steel structure will hold signage and exhibits.


At SCIENCE & ART, you'll find out:
- why some artists have to know or learn a lot about science in order to do their work.
- how some art can convey scientific ideas and help people understand them.
- It’s cool to be interested in and good at both art and science

We are so thrilled to have Robert Lang, an origami artist featured in the Science and Art exhibit. His work is so amazing, I can't wait for you to come check it out!



Be SURE to mark your calendars to check out this cool exhibit, opening May 9 at the Museum! I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of it!
