That philosophy now has moved into the mainstream. Take the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose. In the past, it was relatively small and had a limited number of features, some of which didn't work very well. The best way to experience the art of The Tech is to look at it through a child's eye. Both had been to the original museum and were underwhelmed with it.
Kids like to turn knobs, push buttons and make things happen.
At the Tech, however, you can touch just about everything. In fact, this is art that's designed to be touched. You won't find any Gainsboroughs or Monets here, but you can get your fill of Intel, NASA and the SETI Institute. Art, they say, is in the eye of the beholder. At the Tech, it is also in the eye of the engineer.
