The Chicago History Museum is cool. Is not a big museum but the museology is very didactic and well designed. I liked many things, but sure, for me the architecture section always is more exciting. I saw some Frank Lloyd Wright furniture and glasses, little pieces from Louis Sullivan's and Adler's buildings and very interesting information about the Chicago School.
For example, I didn't know that Moholy-Nagy was invited by the Chicago Association of Arts and Industries to organize a new Bauhaus in U.S.A, in 1933, when the Nazis closed the original school in Dessau. And I didn't know either that Walter Gropius, the very famous architect and founder the Bauhaus, worked in Chicago too.
Finally, I saw a poster of Dick Tracy, my favorite comics around the 50's, with an image of
Maria, my teacher!
