Spark your curiosity at After Dark! As the sun sets, we'll hit the rainbow lights, turn the music up, and open our doors, inviting you to take your imagination out to play. Be ready to bring fresh eyes to old favorites and uncover phenomenal new experiences.
The Exploratorium is your playground after dark! Wander the galleries, sip a cocktail, and let a DJ from Hip Hop for Change set the vibe. The end of the year is a time for reflection and celebration--and that's certainly true in our Seeing and Reflections gallery. Here, you can experiment with light, mirrors, and more, plus turn up the radiance at our seasonal exhibition Glow: Discover the Art of Light. For more Glow artworks, head over to Osher Gallery 1.

We invite you to open your eyes to the amazing world of the ultra-tiny! Be sure to grab a miniscope kit and directions--then convert your cell phone into a portable, picture-taking miniscope using a simple plastic lens from a laser pointer. Use it to see the Exploratorium at its smallest scale, then take it home to continue exploring new environments!
