To commemorate Anne Frank’s birthday, Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry is offering free admission to the museum and its exhibit on her legacy.
On June 12, what would be Frank’s 97th birthday and the same day she received her famous diary, patrons can visit the museum and see “Anne Frank The Exhibition” for free. Entry to the exhibit will also be free on June 13 and 14 with the purchase of general admission tickets.
The museum is also partnering with Chicago Public Library to give away free copies of “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl” starting on her birthday and continuing throughout the weekend.
The exhibit, presented in collaboration with the Anne Frank House, is an “immersive, full-scale recreation of the Annex where Anne Frank, her family and four other Jewish inhabitants lived in hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands,” according to the museum’s website.
Chicago is the first in the Midwest and only the second city in the U.S. to present the exhibition that features never-before-seen artifacts from Frank’s life.
Anyone interested in the exhibition that can’t make it out this weekend can purchase tickets here. Tickets are $19 for adults and $15 for children.
