点评:As we were planning our trip to Chicago I wanted something to teach us a bit about Chicago. As awesome as the other museums were, most could be anywhere in the country, but we traveled to Chicago, and I wanted to include something to learn about the city. And that is why this got 5 stars. My wife and I both said "We should have done this first." We had heard about the Chicago fire, but this one explained what it really was. We knew about music in Chicago, but this had a whole display about it. It really gave us insight into what made this city special. It is not huge, not overloaded with stuff, but a solid museum to teach a bit about the city we were spending a week in. It also was not crowded, after a week in other museums, it was great to have a less crowded, quieter, slower place to spend a couple hours. If you are from out of town, or don't know much about the city of Chicago, this should be on your "to do" list of things to see.
