Exploratorium After Dark: Time

As springtime ebbs and the summer solstice approaches, After Dark considers time. This evening experiment with stopped, slow, quick, detectable, and undetectable time through special exhibits, artworks, and presentations, including a mind-bending tour of Einstein’s theory of relativity by Senior Scientist Thomas Humphrey.

Find out what’s happening at Exploratorium After Dark. New, extended evening hours on the first Thursday of every month mix cocktails, conversation, and adult-oriented programming in science and the arts. Each night will showcase a different theme, which might include live performances, films, and new media, or feature cutting-edge technology and unexpected extravaganzas. Programs will be playful, unusual, and content-rich, and address the science behind topics of adult interest—from gambling, alcohol, fashion, and sex to extreme sports and gaming. Not a theater, a cabaret, or a gallery, After Dark involves aspects of all three, with a mood unlike anything else in the city. Where else can you find music, a cash bar, and an intellectually stimulating playground for adults—all with free parking? This event is included in the price of admission to the Exploratorium.
