Koret Foundation Bay Walk
Take in the Bay as you stroll on the south and east sides of Pier 15.
This free public space overlooking the Bay encourages visitors to take in the views and investigate forces shaping our region.
Bay Windows
Five clear, rotating disks provide beautiful windows onto the motion of sediments in the Bay. Spin them to compare the behavior of gravel, sand, and fine silt—how the currents carry them and how they settle out of the swirling waters.

Rust Wedge
Rust is a major issue in waterfront buildings, as water enters cracks in masonry structures and rusts the underlying steel reinforcement. This exhibit shows the expansive force of rusting steel. A piece of iron placed in the cleft of a block of concrete is beginning to rust—it will expand over time and eventually fracture the block.
