Dana JensenDecember 15, 2014Nice event space, and a nice museum in general! Extra enjoyable if you grew up in the area, because there are extra exhibits on a lot of local shows.- Mike BrownsteinApril 17, 2015There's some signs with outdated information. I also would have liked to see the museum talk about the difference in perception between radio and TV during the JFK/Nixon debate display.
Future generations need to know the history of Radio & Television
- Justin KulovsekJune 13, 2012The Museum of Broadcast Communications is now OPEN to the public! Check it out!
Ian KempJune 16, 2015This is not worth going to at all. Has no focus and has a bunch of mistakes. Marconi did not win the Novel prize in physics. That is just one that jumped out at me.
April HottingerOctober 16, 2012Wait a while before you go, not a whole lot to see and not worth the $12, maybe when it's a bit more finished

"The only one of its kind, this museum shows the inside of the Michigan Ave bridge while tracing the history of the Chicago river from the 17th century to today. Cute, inexpensive, and worth a visit!"
Phil Watson - 7.2
"There's only a few things on display at a time so don't go in expecting to see hundreds of works of art. Either way, it's a cool little place with some great art."
