Hear whispers across 80 feet with the help of Archimedes! These giant bronze dishes make even the quietest sounds crystal clear, creating a fun and surprising way to connect. Archimedes is a free exhibit located on the Exploratorium Plaza!

Kumi Yamashita’s ‘Building Blocks’ is very demure, very mindful. 😊 Sometimes, it's the shadows that tell the real story. Kumi Yamashita's 'Building Blocks' reminds us to see beyond the surface. 🌑✨ Visit it before ExtraOrdinary! Closes on September 8!

This is the best science museum I've ever visited! Next time you're in San Francisco, make sure to visit the @exploratorium. Learning is always fun and curiosity is celebrated at every age. I'll definitely be back! Thanks for the tickets and for showing me around!

CLOUD contains thousands of burned-out lightbulbs, collected from different locations CLOUD has visited. These frosted incandescent bulbs catch the light from energy-efficient LED bulbs inside the cloud.

Canadian artists Caitlind r.c. Brown and Wayne Garrett use familiar objects in unfamiliar ways to make interactive sculptures. CLOUD was originally commissioned for Nuit Blanche Calgary by Alberta University of the Arts and The City of Calgary.
