The mural in the Mathematics and Oceanography Building at the University of Liverpool - now home to the Department of Mathematical Sciences - was designed by John McCarthy when the building was constructed in 1961.
An exhibition on "Chaos and Fractals" was held at the British Association for the Advancement of Science's Festival of Science at Liverpool in 2008 and later (in modified and updated form) at the Victoria Gallery and Museum at the University at Liverpool in 2009.
The images from the original exhibition are currently on display in the student resource rooms in the Department.
