Museum of Science and Industry

The Museum of Science and Industry, which opened in 1933 and is undoubtedly Chicago's most magnificent museum, is located at the northern end of Jackson Park. Its focus is on using natural rules to advance technical and industrial growth. In January 2021, Chevy Humphrey was appointed president and CEO of the privately funded, non-profit museum.

The museum is credited as being the first in the United States to implement the concept of "hands-on" exhibitions. Numerous exhibits are available for interaction by visitors. The MSI has both ongoing and one-time exhibits, in addition to an OMNIMAX cinema.

Over 2,000 objects are on display in 75 main halls of the museum. The Museum of Science and Industry contains a number of significant ongoing displays. Several of the exhibits, such as the Coal Mine and U-505, need a separate admission charge. The museum features temporary and visiting exhibitions in addition to its three floors of standing displays. Most exhibitions have a five-month maximum duration.
