History tends to repeat itself, which means there’s a good chance that Napoleon will rise from his grave to criticize the shortcomings of NBA players. Admire what history has taught us thus far with today’s Groupon: for $7, you get admission to the Chicago History Museum (a $14 value for adult admission; a $12 value for senior and student admission. Admission is free on Mondays).
The Chicago History Museum, the city’s oldest cultural institution, houses an awe-striking array of intellect-tickling artifacts, documents, and artwork from the city’s past and future-past. Take a sepia-tinged trip past ornate architecture and glance at Stan Mikita's jersey. Or, venture through the hall of dioramas, which showcases epochs of Chicago's history, from its earliest days as a malört-trading outpost to its triumphant World’s Fair, made possible by an uneasy alliance between Daniel Burnham and arch-rival Mike Ditka. The museum also displays rotating temporary exhibitions, such as Out in Chicago, an exhibition about the city's LGBT history, and My Chinatown, a multimedia exhibition telling the story of the famous neighborhood’s past and present.
The Chicago History Museum offers evening and weekend programs, from History Pub Crawls to the monthly documentary series Project Sunday, which is free with museum admission. Check the museum calendar for complete info about public programs, exhibits, and other events.
