The SF Exploratorium
The new Exploratorium is a triumph, decades in the making. Hundreds of artistically pleasing interactive exhibits which would take years to explore to the fullest. The refurbishing of the pier and building was beautifully redone as architecture. Even the restaurant is first rate for taking a needed break outside with lunch, and watching the activity on the bay from a fine vantage point, at the end of a long pier
When first entering the new Exploratorium I first proceeded to the restroom, (being a man of a certain age). This tile wall faced me as I entered. All the tiles are square and the horizontal grout is level and strictly linear.I was amazed at the optical illusion and considered it the first exhibit. I noticed on my camera's gridded screen that the illusion almost disappeared.
I thought it was so cool that I processed the image, and added the horizontal lines as a visual explanation.
