Good afternoon, Chicago. Here's what is happening today.
Good afternoon, Chicago.
Get ready to visit “the Griffin.” The Museum of Science and Industry on Sunday is officially becoming the Kenneth C. Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, a name change in recognition of a $125 million donation in 2019 from the founder and CEO of the Citadel hedge fund.
The donation was first reported when it and the name change were accepted by the museum’s board in October 2019. It’s the largest gift in the museum’s history, and one of the largest to a Chicago cultural institution.
