"Microbes in the Home": PurpleBlue

Come visit us at the Museum of Design and Applied Art in Garðabær! Our collaborative bacteria-dye project Fjólublár ("PurpleBlue") is featured in the current exhibition Microorganisms in the Home, which is part of the Museum's exhibition series Visit. 

"PurpleBlue" focuses on developing a sustainable dyeing process for Icelandic wool, concentrating on the production of purple dye from the bacterium Janthinobacterium lividum. The exhibition runs until November 17, 2024 and was developed in collaboration with the National Museum of Iceland, the Technology Center, Biopol, Ístex, and the Icelandic Textile Center.

Welcome!
