In commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the sea lions’ arrival in San Francisco, 30 six-foot sea lion statues painted by 30 Bay Area artists are being placed in different locations throughout the City—one for every year the sea lions have been at Pier 39. Conceived by the Smithsonian-affiliated Aquarium of the Bay, the Sea Lion Center and jointly implemented with Pier 39, this art installation is part of the largest STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) initiative currently underway in California.
