The Exploratorium at Community Day
Join the Exploratorium and other organizations at the kickoff of a yearlong celebration of the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The Palace of Fine Arts was the Exploratorium’s home for 44 years so we’re thrilled to be returning with activities, historic films, a behind-the-scenes tour, and a glimpse of our time at this historic location.
