Interdisciplinary explorations of topics that cut across the sciences and humanities are often rich and interesting areas of study. In late 2009, the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields established a conservation research laboratory which is about one mile from the chemistry laboratories at Butler University. Collaborative efforts began soon after culminating in a team-taught study-abroad course on the intersection of chemistry and art in the spring of 2017. Several undergraduate research projects have blossomed from this collaboration, resulting in papers, publications, and presentations. The broad impact of this partnership will be discussed.
