Blueprints to Our Past Tour
Museum of Science and Industry
This tour will take you both in and outside the Museum of Science and Industry as well as back in time to its origins as the Palace of Fine Arts for the 1893 World's Fair. Using the building's architecture as the guide, you'll see a story that spans more than a hundred years, two World's Fairs and more than 400,000 square feet of exhibit space. This tour will also include a virtual simulation of the 1893 Fair's White City, created by Lisa Snyder of the UCLA Media Lab.
