The Heart’s Knowledge: Science and Empathy in the Art of Dario Robleto is the Block Museum’s newest exhibition that opened on Jan. 27. Robleto is the first artist-at-large at the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science.  Since 2018, the artist-at-large program has encouraged interdisciplinary interactions between the arts and sciences.
