San Francisco has a hidden gem for all lovers of music and art. The wave organ, made of PVC pipes and concrete and activated by waves, is a sound sculpture located at the edge of a Marina district jetty (near the Yacht Club) in the San Francisco Bay. The wave organ was conceived by artist Peter Richards and built with the help of stonemason Greg Gonzales in 1986 in conjunction with San Francisco's Exploratorium. The acoustic sculpture sounds best at high tide but if you can only make it at low tide, the sight is still worth visiting due to its spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco skyline.
