CHICAGO CHILDREN’S MUSEUM MOVING TO GRANT PARK
“Mayor Richard M. Daley announced today that Chicago Children’s Museum will move from Navy Pier to a new building to be constructed on the northeast corner of Monroe Street and Columbus Drive in Grant Park.
The Chicago Park District will provide the site, which is at the south end of Daley Bicentennial Plaza, and Allstate Insurance will donate $15 million toward the construction costs, the Mayor announced.”
“Wednesday’s announcement is the culmination of expansion plan effort started nearly a year ago as Peter England, CEO and president of the Chicago Children’s Museum, examined ways to get more space. In January, Mr. England announced he was eyeing Grant Park as a potential new home.”
