Catch of the Day - Exploratorium - 23 Nov 09

Exploratorium: The Museum of Science, Art, and Human Perception is today's plenteous catch.


The Exploratorium is an actual brick-and-mortar museum located in San Francisco, California. The Exploratorium went online in 1993, one of the first science museums to create a site on the World Wide Web. The site now contains over 18,000 Web pages and many sound and video files, exploring hundreds of different topics.

Many online exhibits are patterned after real exhibits on the museum floor. To simulate some of these, Exploratorium has created a variety of online exhibits using Shockwave, Flash, QuickTime, and other technologies to provide similarly rich experiences.The site contains instructions for over 500 simple experiments, all of which may be viewed on any Web browser and easily printed out.

A focus on investigating the science behind the ordinary subjects and events of people's lives is what makes the Exploratorium site unique.

The Exploratorium's online resources are available 24 hours a day, worldwide, to anyone with an Internet connection. The site has over 20 million visitors a year, that's more than thirty times as many visitors as go to the museum in San Francisco. That makes Exploratorium one of the most visited museum sites on the Internet.
