Today at Michael's Museum

Today Chicago Children's Museum had at least 500 scheduled visitors from schools in the area. Close to 200 students and 90 chaperones visited Michael's Museum between 10:30 and 12:30 when Michael the Curator was in residence. Visitors viewed the collections, chatted with Michael, played the Coffee Table Treasure Hunt, and created their own collections with borrowed items on the open shelves and cabinets.

Also, we are pleased to announce that today Museum Mouse II has joined us, replacing the gently loved one who after working the exhibit for a year has been retired to live in Michael's office where it will be plied with cheese and crackers at his whim.
