It would be a shame to miss the Mary and Leigh Block Museum on Northwestern University's Evanston campus. The exhibitions change frequently and all have artistic and social significance.

Fabulous exhibits, great lectures, movies, and programs, right next to the lake, a theater and a concert hall! What's not to like?

I just saw a fabulous exhibit there this past weekend on the Persuit of Knowledge. It was an exhibit of beautiful old prints. It included Durer's work and many others. And what georgeous astrological maps from the 1600's! In the past I saw an exhibit on Russian prints, with wonderful old books and posters. It is a super museum.
