The Exploratorium Joins Leonardo Affiliate Membership Program
Leonardo/ISAST is pleased to welcome The Exploratorium as a new Affiliate Member. The Exploratorium was founded in 1969 by noted physicist and educator Dr. Frank Oppenheimer with a mission to nurture curiosity in the world around us. Located in San Francisco and headed by Dr. Dennis M. Bartels, a nationally known science education and policy expert, the Exploratorium is typically perceived as a science museum, though it has extended its philosophy of learning beyond the museum’s doors by sharing its resources nationally and internationally with any who wish to take advantage of, or replicate, this innovative approach to exploring science, art, and human perception.
