California Academy of Sciences

The California Academy of Sciences was founded in 1853 as a "learned society." It is now an internationally-recognized scientific institution. The academy is also a research institute that conducts extensive original research in a variety of fields. Currently, the academy carries out research in several disciplines, including geology, anthropology, botany, and ornithology.

The academy is a member of the Association of Natural History Museums, which makes it one of the largest natural history museums in the world. Its collections include over 46 million specimens.

The California Academy of Sciences building is a modern marvel. Its 2.5-acre living roof is covered in 1.7 million California native plants, which provide natural insulation. The roof also absorbs rainwater and decreases runoff. It was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano.

In addition to being one of the most eco-friendly museums in the world, the California Academy of Sciences was also awarded several awards for its green building. In 2008, the building was rebuilt following the Loma Prieta earthquake.

The California Academy of Sciences offers several discounts on admission. These include savings of $3 to $5 when tickets are purchased in advance. The academy also offers special deals through Groupon and Living Social.
