IDEA Stations
Deepen your gallery experience at our IDEA stations, which complement the themes and sections of the Chicago: Crossroads of America exhibition.
At the stations, students actively analyze and interpret the past. Facilitated by trained staff and volunteers, these 20-minute hands-on experiences work best with a group size of about ten students at a time.
