The Treasure of Chicago’s Museums: Science, Culture & Curiosity

We’re back with another episode of All For the Love of Chicago, the podcast where we celebrate the people, innovations, and cultural moments that define Chicago. We open with our “Deep Dish” segment, where Lisa and Kristen unpack their traveling musts, from can’t-miss essentials to the little things that make every trip smoother.

Kristen also finally cashed in on the salon appointment gift she’s mentioned on past episodes at Pascal’s salon from The Golden Bachelorette and shares her experience. In our featured segment, “We’re Lovin’ It,” Lisa and Kristen sit down with Dr.

Chevy Humphrey, President and CEO of the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry—the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere. Dr.

Humphrey shares what she loves most about Chicago and reflects on her five years leading the museum through a period of exciting growth and transformation. She gives insight into how the museum has evolved, including the impact of major projects and what that means for the future visitor experience.

Plus, she highlights must-see exhibits for the spring and summer season and discusses how institutions like hers play a vital role in Chicago’s global tourism appeal. As a member of the Choose Chicago Board of Directors, she also shares her perspective on positioning Chicago as a premier destination for curiosity, culture, and discovery.

We wrap up with “Let’s ChicaGO,” where Fabiola and Joanie spotlight some of the must-see events and experiences happening across the city this season. Fabiola highlights the return of farmers markets across Chicago this May, featuring locally sourced goods from neighboring states, and shares beautiful springtime experiences like “Shower of Flowers” at Garfield Park Conservatory and “Jewels of Spring” at Lincoln Park Conservatory, along with a visit to the Chicago Botanic Garden.

Joanie dives into unique entertainment offerings, including Theater of the Mind, David Byrne’s immersive theatrical experience at the Goodman Theatre running through July 12, and introduces the Chicago Snowballs, a co-ed sportstainment baseball team kicking off their season on May 2 before touring throughout the summer.
