RECEPTION AND DINNER AT THE MUSEUM OF SCIENCE &
INDUSTRY
One of the most beloved and visited museums in the world has
origins that are tied to two great World's Fairs and to civic spirit
and imagination of Chicago businessman Julius Rosenwald.
Rosenwald, then Chairman of Sears Roebuck & Company, was
inspired by a 1911 visit with his son to the Deutches Museum in
Munich. He returned to Chicago determined to create America's
first center for "industrial enlightenment," a vehicle for public
science education. With the help of other Midwest business
leaders, Rosenwald restored and converted the Palace of Fine Arts,
the last remaining major structure from the 1893 World's Fair, into
a new type of American museum - where visitors could interact
with the exhibits, not just view displays and artifacts. In 1933, the
Museum of Science and Industry opened to the public, at the
same time as the Century of Progress Exposition. Enjoy foods from
various Chicago Neighborhoods.
