The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce for discussions, debates, theatrical works, interactive explorations, musical performances, intimate salons, and major outdoor experiences. The Festival takes science out of the laboratory and into the streets, parks, museums, galleries and premier performing arts venues of New York City and beyond.
