Windswept
The San Francisco Arts Commission and the
Randall
Museum announce the installation
of Windswept, a wind-driven kinetic façade by Charles Sowers.
Consisting of over 500 freely rotating directional arrows, Windswept
transforms a blank wall into a large-scale observational instrument that reveals
the complex interactions between the wind and the environment. The artwork was
funded by the Art Enrichment monies generated by the San Francisco Public
Utilities Commission’s capital projects. Come visit Riding the Rails,
the Museum's scale model
of a caboose. Children can
climb on
it and pretend to be riding the rails. Also open
is an urban rail exhibit with models of San Francisco
landmark buildings where visitors can guide model trains
on railroad tracks.
Be sure to check out our relief passenger car with interactive panels about the Transcontinental Railway. Riding the Rails
is on
permanent display in the lobby entrance of the Golden Gate Model Railroad.
Year-round, you can check out a full size replica of an earthquake refugee shack,
visit native California wild animals, and learn more about the wide variety of programs that the Randall Museum offers at the Creativity & Discovery exhibit.
