Description:
|
MUSEUM CAMPUS. The exterior of this hulking marble facility only hints at the historic treasures inside. The architect's goal was boldness, and he achieved it with massive columns and striking galleries filled with natural light. Visitors are immediately greeted by two massive elephants and Sue, the museum's famous Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton (she was acquired for $8.4 million)! Keep going and you'll delve into paleontology, geology, botany, anthropology, and much more. With nine acres of space to set up, curators can change displays regularly – they have more than 20 million items to choose from! |

| | If you get to one museum in Chicago this is the one. The exhibits vary from the largest T rex to an extensive Egyptian collection. There is also a nice cafe and a great gift shop with reasonable prices. A must see. |
