San Francisco's Embarcadero is home to the Exploratorium, a science museum that first appears to be an ordinary museum at a cursory glance. However, upon entering the facility, the experience quickly transforms. Guests interact with exhibits, twisting, pulling, balancing, peering and experimenting, learning scientific principles through direct experience rather than reading wall explanations.
This world-renowned institution has become a global model for science and educational institutions. In April, Hyundai Motor Group signed a strategic partnership with the Exploratorium to develop an interactive science museum in Korea, with the facility set to open in 2032. This new museum will serve as a flagship exhibition space within Hyundai Motor Group's planned Global Business Complex headquarters in Seoul, providing residents, international visitors, and future generations with opportunities to explore science and technology in innovative ways.
