Art and Science display for Burningman 2006

The Explanade is a hands-on museum of the parts of philosophy that relate to science. Concepts from epistemology (theory of knowledge) and metaphysics (theory of existence) are illustrated, as well as some key scientific ideas that comprise our present world view. Abstract ideas are made concrete and visual. Jargon is avoided. Relevance to everyday experience is emphasized, while maintaining a sense of fascination and wonder at profound ideas near the edge of human understanding.

In one sense this exhibit can be seen as the background of ideas that underlie or are implied by what other science museums present as facts. The information here is less about facts than about the nature of facts and how they are obtained.
