Exactly, 8 months ago to this date I had a chance to visit the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, United States. The exhibition was one of the largest I have ever been to. It featured exhibits from multiple disciplines of Science and was lively, interactive and very well maintained. Even with a few stop-by’s it took us ~6 hours to cover it.
