Chicago Cultural Center Free Admission Friday

Free Admission Friday from 10am to 5pm at Chicago Cultural Center - see INFO below. Chicago rebuilt quickly. Much of the debris was dumped into Lake Michigan as landfill, forming the underpinnings for what is now Grant Park, Millennium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago. Only 22 years later, Chicago celebrated its comeback by holding the Worlds Columbian Exposition of 1893, with its memorable White City. One of the Exposition buildings was rebuilt to become the Museum of Science and Industry. Chicago refused to be discouraged even by the Great Depression. In 1933 and 1934, the city held an equally successful Century of Progress Exposition on Northerly Island. More Info below.
