- Abstract
The article discusses the art collection at the museum of Fisher Scientific in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Fisher Scientific, a supplier of scientific instruments and chemicals has collected more than 900 pieces of artwork and memorabilia that go back some 2,000 years and are specific to science, from Chinese alchemy in A. D. 142 to the Atomic Age. There are 40 masterpieces on display at Fisher's primary museum which include 17th and 18th century works by Dutch and Flemish artists. The Pasteur Memorial, home to portraits of Louis Pasteur, some of his letters and notebooks, and lab equipment he once used, is adjacent to the Fisher Scientific museum.
