The Smithsonian also has a STEAM initiative, which is an acknowledgement
of the Smithsonian's emphasis on art. Of course the Smithsonian has a
major effort in culture, so maybe it should be SCREAM, although people
into technology might not like it.

Has anybody heard of the back alley replacement acronym for STEM called
STEAM (don't make fun now)? It's a term we are seriously throwing
around as we begin to plan our 'Maker Space.'
It simply acknowledges the "Art" aspect inherent to science and
creativity, and also built into what many of us already do every day.

Hello,
Our capital campaign included an initiative called "Project Art". The
three large permanent installations were determined after an
international call for submissions and a jury review.
The largest piece - Cloud- has significant presence in our Great Hall.
Info can be seen in the link below, but other photos can be found in our
'private events' section of our website where photos show that evening
functions sometimes coordinate their colours and theme to complement
this amazing piece of art.

commissioned works from artists ranging from Brooklyn to Taiwan. Its
really big, it will be installed in our central pavilion at the heart of
the museum, about 8k ft2. The theme of the exhibition is "community and
sustainability." We will do a full-on catalog for the 3-month
exhibition.

I know Science Gallery in Dublin has done a number of exhibitions like
this, but I can't think of any science museum that has.
