The U-505 Submarine

I recently spoke at a technolgy symposium at MSI (The Museum of Science and Industry) in Chicago. It’s an incredible museum. It is housed in the only in-place surviving building from the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, the former Fine Arts Building. In their basement they have a U-boat that was captured at the end of World War II.

From the MSI website:

“The U-505 Submarine resurfaces in a 35,000-square-foot interactive exhibit that immerses guests in the sub’s compelling tale through dramatic representations, interactive challenges and nearly 200 artifacts.”

These guys have everything. If you are looking for a hard to find piece of hardware for an exhibit, this is the place to go.
