webcasts
Whether you watch live in our Webcast studio or later, on your computer, our Webcasts take you to the places worldwide where science happens—to Zambia, for example, for a stellar look at a solar eclipse? and to interesting events inside our own walls, such as the zany science experiment cookoffs of our Iron Science Teacher competitions. We add an authoritative, often interactive spin on what you see, calling on other experts, from artists to astronauts, to help provide additional insight. Check our calendar for upcoming Webcasts and our archives for events you may have missed.

Exploratorium Film Program
film program
Our film program takes you beyond the museum's walls to explore more about people, places, and ideas related to science and art. We pick the most compelling films available to enhance our exhibitions and events, often inviting you to interact with visiting filmmakers. Screenings and film-related events are offered free of charge with museum admission. See the Online Calendar for more information.
1st Wednesday Free
On the first Wednesday of each month, the Exploratorium opens its doors to the community, free of charge, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The museum's mission is to create a culture of learning to nurture people's curiosity about the world around them. Free Wednesdays are an important way for us to provide access to low-income families who might otherwise be unable to visit. Generous support from our corporate partner helps make Free Wednesdays possible.
