Yes, the idea of a complex entered into my enthusiasm, and I am happy to have them be free, although they are funded through various sources, not only government. But my main view of the matter is described elsewhere, and I have not travelled enough to argue the matter aggressively...

Chicago has some awfully good museums, too. My husband has family in Chicago, and we always go to them when we visit. The Art Institute in Chicago has the best collection of Impressionist art outside the Hermitage, is what is always said about it, not that I've been to the Hermitage myself. The Museum of Science and Industry is very good, and so is the Planetarium. They are all along the shore of the lake, and I believe they are within walking distance, but not as close together as the ones in Washington, of course. I don't remember whether you mentioned that Washington has the Holocaust Museum, and the Hirschorn (Asian art), and the Botanical Gardens, as well as the Air and Space Museum, the Museum of Natural History, the Museum of American History, the Air and Space Museum, the National Gallery of Art, all on the perimeter of the Mall, and the National Archives is just a few blocks away. Far more to see than is really possible unless you devote yourself to it full-time, we've been many, many times and seen only a fraction.
