Adam Savage visited the Exploratorium last week for a 3 day build of his take on Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests.  He worked in our Outdoor Gallery and did talks with our visitors.

DIVING INTO THE BAY

Exploring Our Local Marine Environment

Since moving to Pier 15 three years ago, Exploratorium staff have been investigating our local marine environment—gathering data, developing new tools, and learning more about what’s living in the Bay.
