"A collection of 16 textured quilts inspired by scientific photographs of biological structures is being exhibited at the Center for Care and Discovery, marking the beginning of a series of art installations set for the new hospital pavilion.
Returning for its second showing at the University of Chicago Medicine and Biolological Sciences following multiple requests, “Art Under the Microscope: Bioartography Quilts” will be on display from Monday, June 3, through the end of August."

The image below is one of the quilts currently on display in the bridge between the University of Chicago's Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine (DCAM) and the Center for Care and Discovery (the new hospital) building. More images of the quilts can be found at the website of the Washington, D.C.,-area art quilters from a group called Fiber Artists @ Loose Ends who created the pieces.
