While landmarks such as Cloud Gate at Millennium Park, Willis Tower and the Navy Pier are all must-sees, Chicago is also home to incredible cultural institutes like the Museum of Science and Industry, the largest science center in the Western Hemisphere. Other knock-out museums in the city include the Art Institute of Chicago, the scientific Field Museum, as well as the Polish Museum of America showcasing much of the population’s cultural heritage.
