Art is everywhere at the Exploratorium. Here are some of the artworks currently on display—and where to find them.
Alma Haser, 2017

Not always knowing where their eyes mouth, and lips would end up, the result is a pair of eerie, unrecognizable portraits.

From simple wooden gears to metal flip type, glow discharge tubes, and iPads, Your Turn Counts actually counts the turns of a handle using increasingly modern technology as the orders of magnitude grow. A playful experiment in participation and patience.
