I think that's the one that has the Lions of Tsavo in it. I'd love to see that.

I believe that that museum is all that remains of Chicago's Columbian Exposition of 1892.

Spent many a happy day in that museum. My first experience with museums was with a fifth grade field trip from Lewis Champlain elementary. We rode the elevated no less, to see that museum and later the other museums on the lakefront. I am ever grateful to the Chicago city schools for that introduction, and I take back all my bad words. Lived behind the Holmes building on 63rd and Wallace but that was after the ruckus.
