Also, the Palace of Fine Arts is apparently undergoing renovation, so we could only walk around the lagoon but not through the rotunda or other buildings.
Our new discovery was the crazy wave organ, out at the end of a jetty. It apparently belongs to the Exploratorium and consists of 25 organ pipes at various levels on a terrace, and the pipes are supposed to make different noises at different tides. We didn't hear much of anything except for some water splashing.
The extra strange part is that the terrace is built from old graveyard material.
This little "acoustic sculpture" is worth a visit for pure oddity, but the views are also nice.
