Wave Organ acoustic sculpture at the Marina

The Wave Organ is an acoustic sculpture located on a jetty near the Marina that interacts with tides to produce sound through a series of pipes and chambers. Created by artist Peter Richards and installed in 1986, the installation is a frequently visited public artwork noted in guides to San Francisco's waterfront attractions. The sculpture's whale-like tones and tide-dependent sounds are verifiable by visiting the site at high and low tides.
