SEA LION CELEBRATION
BE the movement™ – Aquarium of the Bay is mobilizing the largest public STEAM program in California to protect, restore and inspire conservation. JOIN US!
To commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the arrival of the world-famous sea lions at PIER 39, thirty 6 ft. tall Sea Lion Statues exclusively painted by 30 Bay Area artists will dot premier spots across San Francisco in late January, where they will remain on display for the remainder of 2020. This will be the largest public STEAM initiative in California that brings together elements of science and arts through innovative QR Code driven multi-lingual VUTAG messaging, focused on environmental sustainability and ocean conservation.
