Here at the Exploratorium, you don’t look at exhibits—you play with them. Dance with your own shadow, levitate, touch a tornado, mix colors and break light apart, stop time, start a conversation, capture a wave, explode your mind; it all can (and does) happen here.
Our museum is unique in that almost all of our exhibits are made right here, by our own staff. In fact, one of our favorite exhibits isn’t an exhibit at all, but the place where we make our exhibits, affectionately known as “the Shop.” We proudly display this workshop to the public—saws, drills, lathes, dirty rags, and all—and overhead hangs a sign that is our credo: “Here is being created the Exploratorium.”
A perpetual work in progress, our ever-changing exhibit collection is where we explore ideas that excite us. Come explore with us.
