Kids are having fun, but they are also learning important things about the world.
—Michael Arbib (USC Brain Project)
in Scientific American

A 112-foot high, glass ceilinged public space links exhibit galleries. But, this is no ordinary lobby. Large-scale, whole body exhibits in the Science Court entice visitors’ participation—whether visitors tackle the physics of balance on a high wire bike, 60 feet above the ground, or try to master weightlessness in a gyroscopic chair.

Creative approaches appropriate to the subject matter—this is one of West Office’s qualities I always valued a great deal.
—Ann Muscat, Deputy Director Exhibits and Education
