KM3NeT and Arts

KM3NeT is proud to be a source of inspiration for many different artists across Europe. Its physics, its detector design and its location in the deep sea appears inspire to artistic expressions from theater plays, movies, music, drawings and pictures. Here we started to build a collection of these artistic expressions. Below an incomplete list.
