A sculpture by Leo Villareal was erected out front of the Exploratorium on The Embarcadero in San Francisco. It was formed into two bucky balls, one inside another. At the moment, LED lights glowed blue.

A sign was posted below the sculpture attached to a fence. That sign read in part, "Buckyball Leo Villareal, 2016."

The "Buckyball" sculpture stood on six metal legs over a hole in the dock. Below that hole was the water of San Francisco Bay. A fence prevented visitors from falling in.

A wider photograph of the sculpture showing in in context with the large dock and the larger piers. People walking past it, illustrated how dramatic the sculpture was.

A closer view of the metal forming the sculpture and the lights embedded into its arms. Those lights now glowed a warm amber.

Another view of the sculpture looking up and through it. This photograph illustrates how the arms fit together and how each LED pod was caulked to prevent water damage.

A final photograph of the "Buckyball" sculpture by Leo Villareal showing that it now glowed purple. This sculpture created a dramatic greeting for those about to visit the Exploratorium on Pier 15, The Embarcadero, San Francisco, California.
