San Francisco's All-Age Science Museum Explores Mental Illness And, Subtly, Homosexuality

San Francisco's swanky new $300 million science museum has taken the bold initiative to encourage kids to ask, "what is normal?" Within the Exploratorium's sea-side digs, a dingy 20th century exhibit on mental health is nestled conspicuously between light-bending experiments and lasers. Mental health clipboards detail the treatment of unfortunate individuals who were institutionalized and drugged for behaviors that, today, we would consider quite normal, including homosexuality. "Normalcy is a shifting landscape," explains co-curator Pamela Winfrey, who wants kids and adults alike to understand how medical science helps define convention.
