On the Hunt: Museums in Illinois

We all know that cities like Chicago have lots of museums — in fact, I hope to make it to Art Institute of Chicago during my next weekend trip– however, I think we can all look past the museums that are near by.  I currently live in Champaign and hope to explore some of the following local attractions:

  1.  Krannert Art Museum (at the University of Illinois)
  2. Spurlock Museum
  3. Champaign County History Museum
  4. William M. Staerkel Planetarium
  5. Orpheum Children’s Science Museum
  6. Larry Kanfer Photography Gallery

What are some of your favorite local museums?
