Friday afternoon to spend in Chicago

I may have this coming Friday afternoon free in the downtown area. I have toured most of the major sites on prior trips, so I wondered if there are any particular exhibitions or off the beaten track attractions that might be worth checking out in the area. Thanks!

Millenium Park is worth a visit, if you have not yet been there. The current exhibit at the Art Institute of 10 architects views of Chicago's future is pretty interesting. (Loved the video of the spaceship landing in Soldier Field!)

Exactly, and I know she is not the only one who thinks that!

Thanks a lot - I have been to both the awesome Millenium park and that monstrosity. Perhaps I'll check out the exhibit
