About This Trail

Imported description

The Museum Campus in Chicago was created in 1998 when the lanes of Lake Shore Drive were re-routed to make it possible to link the three world-class museums. The museums are the most popular here. It's possible to spend a lot of time in each. It is possible to enjoy the city views and watch sailboats on Lake Michigan while strolling around this green space.
