The West Gallery, which integrates exhibits on psychology and art, houses the museum’s iconic Tactile Dome and Black Box—a space for immersive installations. Closest to the Embarcadero and adjacent to the Forum, the West Gallery is great for seated dinners and evening receptions, including product launches, alumni gatherings, and more.
