Zeum - Art & Tech Museum For Children And Families
[ View Opportunity ]
| Last updated on January 13, 2009 |
Zeum is a non-profit multimedia arts and technology museum. Our mission is to foster creativity and innovation in young people and their families. We’re the only Bay Area museum where individuals of all ages, backgrounds, communities and learning styles combine hands-on use of animation, digital technology, electronic media, traditional and non-traditional materials, and the power of their imaginations to create high quality stories, movies, performances, music, art and more.
Description:
Zeum (Ze-um)—not your typical museum; a place that builds voice, ignites the imagination, nurtures the creative process, and encourages innovation.
History:
Zeum opened in October 1998 on the rooftop of Yerba Buena Gardens as part of a major 87-acre urban renewal project in the South of Market area by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. Our unique 34,000 square-foot facility—designed by internationally acclaimed architect Adele Naude Santos—includes premier technology studios, interactive activity stations, exhibit galleries, community exhibit space, and a 200-seat theater. Each year, we reach over 250,000 youth, families, teachers, schools and community-based organizations through general admission, school field trips, camps, workshops, initiatives and free family-oriented public events.
