Armed with box cutters and glue guns, Cardboard Institute of Technology (C.I.T.) artists are bringing a cardboard cosmos to life at the Exploratorium. And no one, not even the artists themselves, can predict exactly where this adventure in world-building wizardry will lead.

Take a journey through a visionary dreamscape crafted completely out of cardboard, with sites, sounds, and surprises lurking around each bend: a village in a vortex, a crashed steamboat on a winding river, peepholes into the underworld, a desert motel, lush forests, and fiery volcanoes. Jump in and join us on Friday evenings all summer for activities and workshops where you can do some creative crafting of your own.

After a trip through WildCard, you’ll never think inside the box again. https://www.exploratorium.edu/wildcard#about
