The Museum has one extensive exhibit on Chicago, appropriately. The exhibits on the World's Fairs and Lincoln were small, but displayed in beautiful architecture. And while I like the content of the City exhibit, it is a bit difficult to navigate because it is set up anti-clockwise. Which is difficult for text-based chronological exhibits.
However, there were 2 temporary exhibits that I found pretty cool. One was on the music scene, which featured a map. That included Charlottesville!
Almost as weird as seeing Williamsburg on the map at the Doge's Palace in Venice.
And an exhibit on local artist, Ed Paschnack (sp?) Influenced by pulp and Warhol. Some of his art burns your retinas, but way cool! Including a piece on Lewis and Clark he composed shortly before his death. (I don't think I can post those pictures.)
Maybe if I am motivated enough, I will get over to the Field Museum tomorrow before techs, while it is still lovely outside.
