This image is currently claimed as fair use, however it should be possible to replace this image with a freely licensed alternative. JeremyA 02:20, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
The article currently claims that "The building... was intended to be a more permanent structure than the other Exposition buildings...". We just toured this museum the other day, and the museum itself has a history exhibit (on the lower level, near the food court) that claims that this building was also designed to be 'temporary', but sometime was converted to 'permanant' by replacing the exterior (formerly plaster) with limestone, and remodeling the interior over the years. They even had a picture of the museum looking delapated before this exterior conversion existed. I don't have a cite other than this, so I won't change the article quite yet. But I do believe the current info in the article may be incorrect... -- Rehcsif 03:19, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Also, at the top, it states that this is the only building left from the fair that still stands on the orginal site. That is false. There are two. The Art Institute is the other. This should be corrected. —Preceding

The article says the Boeing 727 now on display was the first one purchased by United Airlines. My research says it was the seventeenth. The tail number can be researched. Mjburgoyne ( talk) 03:10, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Someone continues to add the walk-through heart as a standing portion of the museum even after I've changed that before. As already noted in the exhibits portion, it is no longer there. Witkneekay ( talk) 02:22, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Does any one have more information on this exhibit? Last time I was there, the doors were closed and would not move. The page still exists for it, but it is not included in the list of current exhibits. http://www.msichicago.org/whats-here/exhibits/navy/ 76.16.242.1 ( talk) 19:05, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
Whoever called Swiss Jollyball a "pinball machine" has either never seen Swiss Jollyball or has no idea of what a pinball machine is. R.M. Schultz ( talk) 15:44, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
This overhead photograph was recently added to External Links, and then reverted. I think it's useful, especially as the architecture of the building is so important, and there's nothing else like it on the page that I can see. It seems to be a particularly well-zoomed and framed Google Maps photograph. Why can't we use it? There doesn't seem to be a similar photograph at Commons. Dhtwiki ( talk) 21:52, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
