Why Visit the Museum of Science and Industry?
The moment you enter through the doors of the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, you'll start a journey through history, technology, and the future. Located in the Fine Arts building in the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition, this museum will welcome you with its Neoclassical architecture that you can see from afar in Hyde Park. Did you know it was inaugurated in 1933 as part of the Century of Progress International Exposition to showcase the wonders of modern science?
You can start your tour in the aerodynamic space by admiring the Pioneer Zephyr train, a marvel of speed from the 1930s that seemed like something out of a futuristic world at the time. You can also be enchanted by Coleen Moore's Fairy Castle, a miniature world with endless fantastical details.
On the second floor, you'll find the recreation of a tornado and discover phenomena like tsunamis and avalanches. The adventure continues by exploring the rooms with historic planes and the German submarine U-505 from World War II.
You can also join the You! The Experience, where you'll discover every detail of the human body from its first cell. Finally, you can explore the Galería Genética, which will reveal the mysteries of genetic inheritance, and you'll witness the birth of chicks. You'll be amazed!
In short, the Museum of Science and Industry is a window to human ingenuity and history. It's a journey of thousands of years in a single day!
