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.-AMERICAN GIRL PLACECall toll-free 1-877-AG-PLACEor visit our concierge desk at American Girl Place®, 111 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago for more information or to make your reservations.-SHEDD AQUARIUMWhat is the best time to arrive at Shedd?Arrive early - Shedd is a popular place, and it can get crowded, especially on weekends, in the summer and on holidays.
