Ernest Hemmingway Museum

posted by rtripp on 2 November 2010 at 10:00

This museum is located in Oak Park and is based by the birthplace of the writer. Your ticket will cost about 8 dollars and gets you into both. There are lots of artefacts and documents on display which look into the influence of Hemmingways ewarly life and upbringing on his writing. It's a really interesting place to visit and a must for all fans of the great man.

Museum of Science and Industry

posted by msteiner on 2 November 2010 at 09:55

The Musueum of Science and Industry lives in a palatial looking building and has some great exhibits. Despite the name sounding a bit dry, it is actually a great place to take kids, the central hall especially is really good fun, with massive world war II bombers hanging from the ceiling, steam engines and other modern vehicles.

National Museum of Mexican Art

posted by gjowers on 2 November 2010 at 09:47

This is the largest museum of Mexican or latino culture anywhere in the US - and I think might be the only officially recognised one... It sits on Harrison Park in an almost entirely latino part of town. There are apparently 6,000 artefacts and objects on display here including paintings, photography, textiles and some really great folk art. Its well worth a look in

Chagall's four seasons

posted by gstainforth on 2 November 2010 at 09:39

The four seasons mosaic wall by Marc Chagall is an extraordinary work. Not just becasuse of its size - though at 70 ft long and 14ft high, it is really imposing - but also for its vivid colours and fantastical characters, all of which are impressivly achieved in the medium of mosaic!

Sabatini Gardens

posted by lgibson on 26 October 2010 at 17:46

The Sabatini Gardens are located on the northern side of the palace and command great views of the fascade. This is a good spot to cool off and chill out and wander the mazes. There are also some pretty statues here as well as a tranquil little pond.
