The biggest addition yet to the Arts District, this striking museum opened in 2012. It wows both on the outside (thanks to award-winning architect Thom Mayne) and on the inside (there are six floors of wonder). Most of the exhibits are interactive – visitors can design their own bird, journey through the solar system, command robots and much more.
The building is designed to be environmentally sound, and this feature is explained in detail. It also has a 3D theater with ever-changing movies.
