At the shores of one of the five Great Lakes, Lake Michigan, a park called Museumcapmus opens its arms of incredible beauty, designed to unite the three largest museums in Chicago with winding paths and wide alleys. One of the pompous, mesmerizing buildings is designed in the spirit of neoclassicism, and the facades seem to bring to life the mysterious inhabitants of the depths of the sea imprinted in stone. The building itself made of terracotta and marble is striking in its grandiosity of design: here is the rigor of the Doric order in massive columns, and the classics of Greek pavilions, and a wide marble staircase. This is what the famous Shedd Aquarium looks like.Today it is in the first place in the country in terms of occupied area, and was once considered the largest in the world. Up to two million tourists visit this amazing place every year. Here, innovations, modern technologies and the variety of species presented perfectly coexist with the traditions and delights of architectural solutions, and caring for the inhabitants and the environment is an integral part of the management's policy, which has become the key to the success of the Shedd Aquarium.

Nice diversity in exhibits. Beautiful building and interior design. They switch art collection very often so go often you will be surprised. Sometimes it might not be your taste but still fun to check out new trends and artist. There's a cute cafe on the basement as well serve pretty good coffee. Farmer's Market out front on the Tuesday mornings but they aren't allowed dogs to go into the farmer's market! That was a bit disappointed. Love the Tuesday night Jazz, ordered a wine or beer and cheese and sit on the lawn. I saw people bring their own picnic basket too. a wonderful way to enjoy Chicago summer! love this museum

Following the Chicago City Pass play series, I feel that it can be the first stop for the Chicago Museum to play. You can learn the history of the city of Chicago. From the beginning of the Great Fire, the formation of the city of Chicago and the wind and rain. The museum was built in 1856 and is the oldest cultural institution in Chicago. In 1871 and 1874 encountered two fires, and then in 1932 built the current new pavilion, the pavilion has two floors, the first floor of the main exhibition introduced the history of Chicago's development, there is a small theater will do historical film explanation, it is recommended to watch the movie first, in the opening of the museum tour, In the film, we learn about a serious fire in Chicago in 1871, which almost destroyed the entire city's housing buildings because the buildings were mostly wooden buildings, and thus the modern Chicago city buildings that now house the skyscraper. The Chicago Water Tower became one of the few surviving buildings and thus became a landmark in Chicago.
