Chicago, IL / www.naturemuseum.org

The Chicago Academy of Sciences was founded in 1857 as Chicago’s first museum dedicated to educating Chicagoans about nature and science through the preservation and display of native specimens, classroom activities, and dissemination of scientific knowledge. The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum is the public face of the Academy and continues the tradition of research, conservation and education about nature in the Midwest through educational outreach, exhibits, and ongoing scientific activity.
