Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

Talk about apples and oranges! (or maybe mangoes, given the color
scheme of the Tech's building.)
As someone who likes things about both the Tech and the
Exploratorium, I'd say the writer had a particular set of axes to grind.
It would be just as easy to point out examples of "over the top uses
of technology" at the Exploratorium (I won't get specific, but look
on the second floor...) as well as fun and familiar materials at the
Tech (Mr. Potato head and computer programming come immediately to
mind.)
Any publicity is good publicity, I suppose, but it seems like a
patently superficial treatment of both institutions.
