This article describes the record increase in attendance at the Museum of Science and Industry in 2005, due in large part to the Body Worlds exhibit. In response to this boom in attendance, the Museum was granted permission to raise admission for the first time since 2001. The article cites the Civic Federation's warning that many of Chicago's cultural institutions are facing serious funding issues, which may warrant changes to their public revenue sources.
