DH and I just returned from the Windy City and trekked through three museums (Art, Fields and Science). Of the three, definitely the U-Boat exhibit in the Science and Technology Museum topped everything. Poignant and personal. The exhibit made you almost able to smell the stench of diesel and cramped living conditions (one head for 69 souls until enough food was eaten to allow access to the second head/storage area). The Museum transported the entire boat from the shores of Lake Michigan and then built a building around the boat at great expense and logistical nightmares. This was one of the most memorable exhibits I have seen besides the palaces of St. Petersburg. Our second strong favorite was the Impressionist paintings in the Art Institute Museum. Wow, Chicago was the bomb.
