Museums and galleries are everywhere with different collections spanning from historical paintings, video installation, sculptures, photography, handicrafts, to ancient artifacts. But how do people outside of the art community discover the obscure and fascinating exhibitions out there? Without a doubt, these aren’t the typical things you expect to find on display:

Zvents’ Eric Odland and Grace Lin happened to be a part of an audience at the San Francisco Exploratorium and captured a labor-intensive construction made of wooden pieces by Scottish artist Aeneas Wilder. The impressive construction itself is an art form, as is the apparent destruction!

Jelly Belly Presents “Candy Unwrapped,” an interactive exhibit, which explores the science of candy at the Cranbrook Art Museum and Institute of Science in Bloomfield Hills, Missouri. The cool thing is that visitors can look, smell and taste their way through exhibits to discover the biology, chemistry, psychology, and artistry behind the candy.

Then there’s MONA’s Downtown and Hollywood Neon Cruise where visitors can jump on board the top deck of a convertible British bus on a guided tour at night to experience the urban electric jungle of Los Angeles. Have you ever wanted to know how these neon signs and classic movie marquees came about?

Who knew!? So, why not forgo the standard art fare? These are the fun and unique things that you can actually be a part of!
