    Ugh, those awkward adolescent years.🙄
    I’m always a sucker for spooky-lookin pix of the rotting former 1893 World’s Fair Palace of Fine Arts building before it was saved and turned into the @msichicago. (Striking photo is from park historian Julia Bachrach’s website)

    Blast to the past with @6figga_dilla! We're visiting the 1893 World’s Fair to see the Palace of Fine Arts 🏛️ before it evolved into the Museum. We’ll learn how Chicago’s electric rail system set the stage for the city to host the World’s Fair and launch the MSI we know today.

    In October 1992, a United Boeing 727 aircraft landed at Chicago’s Meigs Field. From Meigs Field, the 727 was towed across Lake Michigan and over Lake Shore Drive to the Museum, where it is currently cantilevered to the east balcony. #TBT

    Between penguins and dinosaurs, birds are sure having a moment. Spend this #FirstDayOfSpring inside the hatchery with our baby chicks, who are too young to let run around the Museum.
