Museums in the Park
From natural history to cultural history, from the savviest in science to wondrous works of art, from the aquatic world to worlds beyond, Chicago's Museums In the Park enrich the lives of everyone who walks through their doors.
The Museum of Science and Industry is just one of the nine Museums in the Park supported in part through the generosity of the people of Chicago and the Chicago Park District.
