The Exploratorium
In celebration of the Exploratorium's 40th Anniversary, we've been combing through our archives and revisiting our rich history. One gem we discovered is the highly regarded Speaking of Music series, which was co-presented by the Exploratorium, Charles Amirkhanian and KPFA radio from 1983-1992. In the series, conversat...ions between Mr. Amirkhanian and prominent musicians and composers took place before a live audience. We are releasing these archived files as a podcast series called "Speaking of Music Rewind." We'll publish one episode a month for the entire 40th anniversary year, concluding in November 2010. The first four episodes of this series are now available online:Read More

Recently I got a book with photos of all the buildings from the world fair. We are so lucky that this building was kept for all to enjoy. Leila
