he University of Minnesota Foundation commissioned a mural for the MINOS cavern, painted onto the rock wall, 59 feet wide by 25 feet high. The mural’s fiery central focus area contains images of scientists such as Enrico Fermi and Wolfgang Pauli, Wilson Hall at Fermilab, George Shultz, a key figure in the history of Minnesota mining, and a number of surprises. “I’ve included the word ‘change’ in as many languages as people could give me translations for it,” said Joe Giannetti of Minneapolis, the artist who was featured in a National Geographic television documentary about the MINOS project. “Neutrinos are changing all the time-just as we are, just as the universe is. I’m fascinated by neutrino science, and I admire the imaginations of the scientists. A scientist had to imagine this experiment, this series of detectors. This place is a temple of the human imagination.”
