Exploratorium

"The Exploratorium is a museum of science, art, and human perception located in San Francisco, California. Online since 1993, the Exploratorium was one of the first science museums to build a site on the World Wide Web. Included in the site are more than 10,000 Web pages and hundreds of sound and video files, exploring hundreds of different topics. We currently serve seven million visitors a year on the site -- nearly seven times the number of visitors who show up in person at the museum in San Francisco. That makes us one of the most visited museum Web sites in the world.

The Exploratorium's Web site is an extension of the experiences on the museum's floor. We've created "real" things for people to explore and interact with, not "virtual exhibits." The medium of the Internet makes it possible for the museum to reach homes and schools all over the world. This has changed the way formal and informal learning takes place, both in the classroom and in the home. The Exploratorium online, and the resources it provides, are available 24 hours a day, worldwide, to anyone with an Internet connection.
