Glow
Thursday, November 20, 2025 -- Sunday, January 25, 2026, 1200 - 1500
Step into the art and science of light... and recharge your winter wonder.
Discover luminous artworks that dazzle and surprise:
- Play experimental LED dungeon crawlers (Robin Baumgarten).
- Marvel at an optical illusion sculpture that challenges your perception of light and structure (Tristan Duke).
- Bask in the glow of an artificial Sun made of moving mirrors (Jacqueline Hen).
- Be mesmerized by an ever-shifting landscape composed with unique materials and textures (Akiko Nakayama).
- Turn your shadows into stars in a glittering constellation (Maja Petric).
- Bliss out under shimmering sculptures that reflect and refract rainbow-colored lights (Martens and Visser).
- Experience nearly 500 suspended orbs in the form of a breaking ocean wave, brought to life with light and sound (Squidsoup).
- Wander a sculptural city built from found objects (Angela Yuen).
Still light-curious? Explore color and shadow with more interactive exhibits in Bechtel Gallery 3, including a refresh of our iconic Sun Painting, and enjoy illuminating live programs for both adults and kids.
Please note: Storytime Science will be in Classroom 2002 on November 8. You may access Classroom 2002 by going up the stairs on the east end of Gallery 1. For elevator access, please talk to an Explainer.
