The Museum Campus

Chicago's Museum Campus is a 23-hectare (57-acre) park on Lake Michigan that forms the southeastern part of Grant Park. It is home to three major cultural institutions: the Adler Planetarium, the Shedd Aquarium, and the Field Museum of Natural History. The area was created in 1998 to link the museums for pedestrians, and Lake Shore Drive, which had previously divided them, was rerouted. Today the campus invites you to linger, with expansive green spaces, jogging paths, and the scenic Solidarity Drive. Along the paths, you'll also find bronze monuments to Nicolaus Copernicus, Tadeusz Kościuszko, and Karel Havlíček Borovský.
