Chicago Museums

Posted on April 16, 2016May 29, 2016 by steve

We picked the right weekends to visit Chicago. The weather was perfect. We originally scheduled this trip for our Next season tickets. The Alps-themed meal turned out to be lackluster, but we had a lot of fun anyway.

We visited the  Art Institute of Chicago, which is HUGE. We even bought a season pass so Dani can go back with friends.

Speaking of museums, last year Dani and I also visited the nearby Museum of Broadcast Communications.

Back in 2014 Linda and I visited the Field museum.

And Dani and I visited the Chicago History Museum (which was quite good) and the International Museum of Surgical Science (which was… memorable).

And way back in 2007 we made Dani’s first visit to the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry while on her college tour.
