Museum Of Broadcast Communications
This is a fun stop on your tour of Chicago. If you or anyone in your tour group is a television junkie, they will love this museum.
This fun venue is one of only three broadcast history museums in the nation and home to America's only Radio Hall of Fame, the museum is currently undergoing renovations and is set to open in the first part of 2006 in downtown Chicago.
The new facility will be a stunning four-level, 70,000-square-foot museum of television and radio history will be located at State and Kinzie Streets, right next door to Harry Caray's Restaurant and the House of Blues Hotel.
Interestingly, the new Museum Of Broadcast Communications will be a model energy-efficient museum and will provide five times as much space as the location in the Chicago Cultural Center, which closed in December 2003 in order for staff to focus on planning the new home which has taken nearly two years to come to fruition.
On-site features of the new Museum Of Broadcast Communications will include:
A two-story, glass-and-steel lobby atrium, a cafe, and a gift shop; there will be over 15,000 square feet devoted to the exhibition of television and radio history. Additionally, a state-of-the-art television and radio studios for hands-on experiences for both young and old. A media-equipped center for orientation and teaching for groups and schools to learn and explore.
The new Museum Of Broadcast Communications will be an awesomely fun afternoon. Book your tour in early 2006 when this venue reopens, bigger and brighter than ever.
