点评:Nailed it! The Growing up X exhibit was spot on. I felt like I was transported back 30 years. I really can’t believe my youth is now in a museum. Was it really that long ago???
Great attention paid to detail. I loved the “Rec Room” area. It was great to be immersed in the feel of the 80s and 90s. My son, who loves all things old school, really liked interacting with the old television sets, VCR, and gaming consoles.
The rest of the exhibit is also very well done. I really liked that they included the quotes and perspectives of kids growing up at that time. I could definitely relate to a lot of their thoughts and feelings.
The whole exhibit made me proud to be part of Gen X, and left me longing for a Time Machine to go back to a simpler time.
(The rest of the museum is also very nice and showcases a lot of geological history of Illinois and the Midwest. Free admission daily and free street parking on the weekends. Weekdays might be trickier to find parking, check the website. Super friendly and welcoming staff!)
Don’t forget to check out the state Capitol building as well. It’s just a quick walk from the museum. Easily accessible and worth checking out.
翻译:搞定了! “Growing up X”展览非常精彩。我感觉自己仿佛回到了30年前。我真的不敢相信我的青春现在在博物馆里。真的是很久以前的事情了吗???
非常注重细节。我喜欢“娱乐室”区域。沉浸在80、90年代的感觉中真是太棒了。我的儿子喜欢所有老式的东西,非常喜欢与旧电视机、录像机和游戏机互动。
展览的其余部分也做得很好。我真的很喜欢它们包含了当时成长的孩子们的名言和观点。我绝对能理解他们的很多想法和感受。
整个展览让我为自己是X世代的一员而感到自豪,也让我渴望有一台时光机器回到更简单的时代。
(博物馆的其他部分也非常好,展示了伊利诺伊州和中西部的大量地质历史。每天免费入场,周末免费路边停车。工作日可能很难找到停车位,请查看网站。超级友好和热情职员!)
不要忘记参观州议会大厦。距离博物馆仅几步之遥。交通便利,值得一看。
