#600 — A day time picture taken of the Palace of Fine Arts Exploratorium located in San Francisco, California. In this picture you can see the many people enjoying the water fountain outside of teh exploratorium during a sunny day. The task of creating a Palace of Fine Arts for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition fell to the architect Bernard R. Maybeck, then fifty years old and known for his innovative ideas. Setting to work on this new project, he chose as his theme a Roman ruin, mutilated and overgrown, in the mood of a Piranesi engraving. The Palace of Fine Arts was meant to give delight by its exterior beauty, but its purpose was also to offer all visitors a stimulating experience within doors.
