Chicago Museum Thread

[ChicagoBlue2]

This thread is all about the various museums around Chicago and the surrounding areas:

That's it for now. I have a few more, but I've run into a problem.

 

[whatdidyousay!]

Could you tell a little history about photos ?

It's almost been 10 years since I've been there, those pictures bring back a lot of great memories.

Thanks for sharing, did you learn anything interesting or cool?

Here are my pictures from when I was there:

I can try, but I want to get the remaining photos uploaded when I get to my laptop, which I couldn't bring with me.

Yes. I learned that they have a LOUD horn there. I don't think I heard that the last time I was there, which was quite a few years ago.

The rest of my photos have appeared. Here they are:

And prior to walking into the place, I saw how HUGE it is:

There is a 3rd part of that building just outside that picture. Place is ENORMOUS.

Looks like a nice museum.

After seeing the pictures I now remember we did go there many many years ago. Looks like they might have added some new things. Chicago has some amazing places to visit.

Hey, Angel1989..... I'm headed towards Shedd Aquarium right now, and I'll try and get a try and get a picture of Adler Planetarium, and post it here.

Botts, I'm headed to Field Musuem today, instead of tomorrow, since both Shedd and Field are in the same vinicity. I WILL get that picture of Sue for you
:P

Oh, it is. I just might head back there to get some additional photos from there.

There's not enough time to get both Shedd and Field in this morning, but I will return back here to get one of them. Good thing they're open 'til 5, so plenty of time.

 

[ChicagoBlue2]

I got Sue!!

More coming this afternoon.

 

[ChicagoBlue2]

After lunch, I'll head to Shedd. I'll return to Field tomorrow morning to finish up there.

Headed to Shedd Aquarium now. Hopefully I'll have enough time to get plenty of photos this afternoon.

Before I get to Shedd, here are some more Field Museum photos:

And prior to walking into the place, I got this photo:

More Field Museum photos tomorrow, and Adler Planetarium, as well.

I just realized..... Adler has a free day today. Problem is, not much time to get that today. However, they DO have a free day next Wednesday, so I'll probably go then.

Shedd Aquarium:

Okay, so the next free museum days are:

Adler: 1/19 and 1/20

Chicago History Museum: Jan. 19-23

Shedd: Jan. 18-20

And after today's trip to Brookfield, I just may go to the Chicago River Museum tomorrow.

Ah, I miss Chicago. The museums are awesome. Did you know there's a little museum dedicated to surgical science? It's REALLY fascinating and morbid. https://www.imss.org/

The Art Museum of Chicago, on Michigan Ave, just before Union Station a few blocks down on Adams:

Enjoy!! I'll try and get more museum photos as I go along this winter.

Angel1989..... here's what Adler looks like, after I finally figured out how to get a picture of it out of the glare of today's sun:
