Humanities is the study of natural and social sciences with an emphasis on human conditions. These are usually sub grouped in the study of languages, law, literature, performing arts, philosophy,religion and visual arts. I decided to do my Museum project on the San Francisco Exploratorium. The exploratorium was founded in 1969 by physicist Dr. Frank Oppenheimer. The exploratorium specialises in teaching science through hands on experiences, this has allowed them to win the webby award for best science site five times since the year 1997. This study of science through visual arts/exhibits is a precise connection to humanities.

In researching the exploratorium it brought back memories of my childhood and field trips to the museum. Little did I know a subject that I dislike (science) was so fun and interesting if presented properly. I've decided that I would like to take my little sister one weekday as a reminder of my feelings to this place.

I think wikipedia should have provided us with more information in regards to the actual exhibits provided at the museum;instead of a simple description of the pitch black labyrinth that requires an extensive sense of touch to navigate.
