Episode 52 - The Return of Legends in Chicago and Welcoming Powerful Exhibitions

On this episode of Show & Tell: It’s time to revisit some of our favorite places and reminisce about days gone by. First up, we revisit my interview with Tom Zaller from Imagine Exhibitions as he walks us through the world of Downton Abbey: The Exhibition. The exhibition has been extended through July 7, giving you plenty of time to explore the period, the fashion, and the house from the hit television show. There is also time to see Mamma Mia, playing now through May 19 at the Nederlander Theatre. Listen back to our chat with Oak Park native, Grant Reynolds, about his role as Sky. If you’re looking for a unique spot for a drink, tune in to my discussion with Brian Krajack, Director of Operations at Forbidden Root. He tells us all about Chicago’s first botanic brewery. And finally, a bit of something new while still looking back at the past. Arielle Weininger, Chief Curator of Collections and Exhibitions at the Holocaust Museum, stops by to talk about “Shtetl in the Sun: Andy Sweet’s South Beach 1977-1980.” This dynamic photography exhibition celebrates Sweet’s life in the late 1970’s. All of this, on today’s episode of Show & Tell.
