Makovicky  (Gautam Desiraju is absent).    |  | The Commission   on Crystallography in Art and Cultural Heritage (CrysAC) of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) was   formed at the   IUCr Osaka Congress in 2008 and is concerned with two main   issues:  
                    Crystallography and symmetry in art; 
Crystallographic analysis (e.g. diffraction-based) of artworks and ancient materials. As member of the commission I will take part in activities within the Commission on Crystallography in Art and Cultural Heritage (CrysAC).
