Excerpt: 

In 1857, the Chicago Academy of Sciences became Chicago's first museum. In October 1999, the Museum expanded to become the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, and moved to its current home in Lincoln Park on Fullerton Parkway and Cannon Drive.

Today, the Nature Museum is the place where

you'll be dazzled by beautiful wildflowers
exotic butterflies will land on your shoulder—even in December
youngsters can dress up like animals and go a little wild
your spirit will be lifted in a sun-soaked building, surrounded by the trees and wildlife.
