Museum of Science & Industry

The Museum of Scientific and Industry (MSI) is a science museum in Jackson Park, Hyde Park, Chicago, Illinois, between Lake Michigan and The University of Chicago. It is housed in the World's Columbian Exposition's old Palace of Fine Arts since 1893. It was originally given by Julius Rosenwald, the president, and philanthropist of Sears, Roebuck & Company, and was backed by the Commercial Club of Chicago. It opened in 1933 during the Century of Progress Exposition.

A full-size replica coal mine, the German submarine U-505 seized during WWII, a 3,500-square-foot (330 m2) model railroad, the command module of Apollo 8, and the first diesel-powered streamlined stainless-steel passenger train are among the museum's displays (Pioneer Zephyr). In January 2021, Chevy Humphrey was named president and CEO of the private, non-profit museum.
