The Museum of Science and Industry in Hyde Park closed to the public Wednesday, according to statements from the museum.
The closure on April 3 was for “unplanned museum maintenance.” Museum officials told the Tribune that the MSI was “relocating some military artifacts from the Museum’s archives. Out of an abundance of caution, and to ensure proper and safe removal, we have specially trained military personnel as well as local officials onsite. The Museum decided to close to the public during the assessment and removal process.”
The museum is expected to reopen for normal admission hours on Thursday. Ticketholders for Wednesday will be refunded or can call 773-684-1414 to rebook their reservation.
