Holiday lights may be coming to an end, but you can still light up the new year with Glow at the Exploratorium! Running through January 25th, Glow is a series of eight immersive light art exhibits. Each exhibit has been designed by a different artist and provides a unique interaction with light.
At Glow, you’ll step into a world of light with experiences like never before.

- Become a constellation with Maja Petrić, an award-winning artist known for using AI, Probiotics and custom media with light to create unimaginable immersive experiences.
- Take a moment to admire the refracted light by Martens and Visser, who are known for lively pieces that create an intersection for art and physics.
