The Old Palace of Fine Arts, Jackson Park, Chicago, Illinois, USA, 1917. Postcard. Designed by Charles B Atwood, the Palace of Fine Arts was built for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. After the exposition it housed the Columbian Museum, which evolved into the Field Museum of Natural History. The building became vacant after the Field Museum relocated to a new downtown site in 1920, before being chosen as the site for Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, which it remains today.
