If you find yourself in San Francisco this summer, be sure to check out the California Academy of Sciences. Inside, it’ll be hard to miss our structures which are being used in the Forum to create help create the setting for “Snakes & Lizards: The Summer of Slither,” on display from May through September.
For this exhibit, the museum wanted to create a tunnel that contained several outposts where educational displays can stand as well as a larger projection surface to cap it off. We used a series of modified products off of our rental line to accomplish this – first you enter through a Stargate which is connected to a customized Mod Tunnel that finally opens up to one of our Coves. All of these items are in green fabric creating the illusion of being in the belly of a snake. On the other side of the Forum, you can find a green Continental Divide serving as the backdrop for a large fountain display.
Pink is proud to have all of our green structures occupy the greenest museum in the world; which was just opened 2 years ago and was designed by renowned architect, Renzo Piano. The $500 million dollar building contains an aquarium, planetarium, 4-story rainforest, natural history museum, as well as a 2.5 acre “living roof” and has received Platinum certification under the LEED program recognizing sustainability in design. The museum also happens to have a lovely seat in the middle of Golden Gate Park, which is a must-see the next time you’re visiting the City by the Bay!
