Our upcoming summer exhibition, Life in Space, is all about the realities of survival beyond Earth, so we made the campaign the same way: in the real world.
We get it. It looks AI. But it’s not.
That’s a real human.
A real suit.
A real camera.
Real Bay Area beaches.
A real, talented team of photographers and designers.
And yes — that’s a real dog living her best life.
Let’s get real. 🚀 Come see for yourself, June 11th to September 13th.

Life in Space
Opens June 11
Pier 15, San Francisco
Climate change is a challenge that will take all of us to solve, and at the Exploratorium, we know that before you can change the world, you first have to be curious about it.
That’s why we’re excited to break ground this summer on our new Waterfront Field Station, a free, outdoor public learning environment dedicated to sea level rise, climate resilience, and the future of the San Francisco Bay.
At last night’s governor’s debate, Emma Greenbaum, our climate and landscapes director, highlighted the tremendous opportunity California has to shape cutting-edge climate policy.
We’re proud to be a leader in climate education. From our public programming, exhibits, and educator workshops here at Pier 15 in San Francisco, to our global partnerships, we create experiences that empower people to take action to create a brighter future for the planet and the life it sustains.
We invite you to join us in being curious, asking questions, and questioning answers for a better tomorrow. Visit our link in bio to watch the video.
It was a Phenomenal Night! Your support directly advanced the Exploratorium’s mission to create inquiry-based experiences that inspire curiosity and lifelong learning—we are truly grateful for your generosity, explOrers!
We were thrilled to welcome such incredible talent: @ladycamden brought her powerhouse presence to our stage, @p_lo lit up the night with an electric set, and @djumami kept the energy high on the dance floor with seamless, high-impact mixes all night long.
Together, we are building the future of the Exploratorium. Thank you for believing in what we do.
Your new favorite excuse to linger on the Embarcadero… the Exploratorium and @byconstellation are proud to announce that Catalyst Coffee Lab is officially open to the public at Pier 15! ☕
Enjoy brews from Thanksgiving Coffee, handcrafted espresso, fizzy sips, and fresh pastries. Need a proper breakfast before diving into the exhibits? Breakfast burritos and bacon, egg, and cheese croissants are made to order. 🍳
Whether you’re a museum-goer or just passing by, swing in for a brain-boosting bite!
The Catalyst Coffee Lab is open to the public and doesn’t require a museum ticket to purchase food or beverages.
This Teacher Appreciation Week, the Exploratorium is celebrating and honoring the teachers who’ve made a lasting impact on our lives, and changed us for the better. Thank you for staying long after the final bell.
