Display in front of the California Science Center entrance |
There was a wide arrange of exhibitions, including one on Fear, Air & Space endeavors, and even King Tut! I enjoyed all of them but my personal favorite was the World of Life exhibit. The World of Life exhibit focused on biology- from the microscopic level to the macroscopic level. Similar to Joan Fontcuberta's work Hemogram that uses blood as self- portraits (Fontcuberta), blood was a main component for many of the exhibits. A display titled Blood and Hearts Exhibit aimed to illustrate that blood is a shared bodily fluid between many of the animals, and even showcased an actual heart! The Blood and Hearts display was an interactive display that allowed you to match

The California Science Center is filled with immersive and comprehensive exhibits that spark your curiosity and teach you new things. I highly recommend visiting this museum because it was a very interactive museum that presented knowledge in a fun and engaging manner!
