Usually I just want to get out of a set of twin, one horse each, towns like Champaign-Urbana…read more People who think it normal or even alright to dress up in picked colors---none more dismal than Blue and Orange---scare me. If you find yourself stranded and not into Big Ten sports? Where do you go in such a place? Trust me, walk through the door of Cinema Gallery and you will find yourself in some other realm. There are many more colors than just Orange and Blue, especially if you catch some of the glass pieces casting rainbows during the day. Some say culture traveled between New Orleans and Chicago and moved as fast as it could between the two cities once. Something must have fallen from the train and it stuck around Cinema Gallery. It is nothing short of gorgeous.

Awesome museum with 9 permanent exhibits and a rotating special exhibit in the Campbell Gallery…read more Admission is free which is incredible given the quality of the museum. This museum is both larger and nicer than many museums that have paid admission around Illinois, and also feature some interactive components as well. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Champaign area as a fun place to spend an afternoon learning.
