Exploratorium

Today I learnt from Miss Terri about a famous museum in San Francisco. It is called Exploratorium. It is a hands-on museum of science, art, and human perception.

It aims to spark our curiosity. We can touch, pick up and try on hundred of different experiments. More than half a million visitors, including 130,000 students and teachers on school field trips, come to the Exploratorium each year. The Web site, at www.exploratorium.edu, receives more than 28 million distinct visits annually, and more than 20 million people see Exploratorium-designed exhibits displayed at science centers around the world.

I hope one day I can visit the place and try to tinker with hundred of exhibits.
