Ever seen a “fishbowl” bus from the 1960s up close? Chicago Transit Authority's Heritage Fleet Bus 301 is rolling into Griffin Museum of Science and Industry for Kickoff to Summer Picnic on June 5 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.! 🚌

Built in 1962, this rare bus earned its nickname from its giant windows and gave Chicago riders a whole new view of the city until it retired in 1983.

Climb into a piece of transit history and kick off summer at Griffin Museum of Science and Industry. Visit link in comments for more info.

Across generations, educators have helped students engage with Anne Frank’s story and the questions it raises about empathy, prejudice, antisemitism, and remembrance.

This summer, we invite educators to experience Anne Frank The Exhibition at Griffin Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago and reflect on the legacy that has shaped countless conversations in classrooms around the world.

To mark the start of our , local educators who visit the exhibit this Saturday can share their reflections on social media and receive a complimentary exhibit catalog.

Please note: Offer valid only for educators who visit the exhibit and collect their catalog on-site.
