Exploratorium at Pier 15

The Exploratorium, founded by Frank Oppenheimer in 1969, relocated in 2013 to a purpose-renovated space at Pier 15 on the Embarcadero. The museum features hundreds of interactive exhibits that emphasize hands-on science, perception, and art and offers public programs that engage local schools and community groups. Its waterfront location integrates maritime history and public science education into San Francisco's cultural landscape.
