Exploratorium redefines what science museum can be
SAN FRANCISCO — Tucked along Pier 15 on San Francisco’s Embarcadero, the Exploratorium looks at first glance like an ordinary science museum. However, when stepping inside the facility, the atmosphere quickly changes: Visitors twist, pull, balance, peer at and experiment with exhibits, discovering scientific principles not by reading explanations on a wall, but instead by experiencing them…
San Francisco's Embarcadero is home to the Exploratorium, a science museum that deviates from traditional museum layouts. Rather than relying on wall-mounted explanations, visitors interact directly with exhibits, discovering scientific concepts through hands-on experimentation. This innovative approach has made the Exploratorium a global benchmark for science and educational institutions.
Hyundai Motor Group recently entered into a strategic partnership with the Exploratorium in April, aiming to replicate its hands-on philosophy in South Korea. The partnership aims to develop an interactive science museum, set to open in 2032, which will serve as a flagship exhibition space within Hyundai's planned Global Business Complex headquarters in Seoul.
This new museum will provide residents, international visitors, and future generations with unique opportunities to explore science and technology in innovative ways.
