In a recent post I visited the The Hunger Games: The Exhibition at the Palace of Fine Arts, this time I thought I’d focus on the gorgeous building itself.  Initially constructed by California architect Bernard Maybeck for San Francisco’s World Fair in 1915 on reclaimed bay land, the building has since seen earthquakes and reconstructions and has been used for many different purposes. The Innovation Hangar currently hoses hands-on educational activities and amazing exhibitions from major institutions such as Bay Area Discovery Museum, Kaboom, Smithsonian’s Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation, Maker Media and Wearable World Technologies, there has been talk of converting it to a restaurant and other ideas. I don’t know what the future holds for this stunning place but it’s a very special landmark that should be open to everyone to stroll though and admire the architecture and fountain and swan pond, to be inspired by its beauty and grandeur!
