After a rather large investment on Rosenwalds part, in 1928 the newly restored building came to be known as the Museum of Science and Industry. The museum officially opened in 1933, and has been a popular Chicago attraction ever since. The museum encompasses more than 300,000 square feet and has more than 800 exhibits on display.

The MSI Chicago is one of the few remaining structures from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. It served as the Palace of Fine Arts and was designed by Charles B. Atwood of D.H. Burnham and Company. 

In the 1920s, retailing magnate Julius Rosenwald envisioned the enormous building as a center for science and technology, which led to its current use. Now, for more than 75 years, it has been Chicago's premiere spot for science and technology exploration. It's a must-see for children and, understandably, for many adults, too.
