Irony is the Shackles of Youth

Whoever told us that the Museum of Science and Industry was good? Lied. I have never seen a museum so full of corporate sponsorship in my life. I don't mean "Hall of Goodyear" kind of sponsorship. I mean like the model train had John Deere tractors and cars on it, the Farm technology had two large John Deere tractors, and they listed John Deere prominently on other exhibits as a sponsor. They also had whole exhibits that were quite obviously designed just for a company. For example, a whole area about how great manufacturing and robotics with Allen Bradley's name all over it.

I've also never seen a museum more devoted to trying to get money from you. Besides the usual admission, "special exhibit" and Omni theater experience you also have places within the actual exhibits where if you wanted to participate in the exhibits you had to fork over money. It was ridiculous.

I much preferred going to the Robie House, to the Oriental Institute, and the Rockefeller Memorial Chapel.

EDIT: I did forget to mention the one good thing about the museum of Science and Industry. In the farm section, they had a station where you and a partner raced each other to see who could put a milker on a plastic cow's udders quicker. miome and I stopped to watch people make fools of themselves. It was hilarious to watch a woman in a short black dress and heels squat down to do this. XD
