Tenement House Museum

Rachel and I decided to go to the Tenement House Museum. It's really close by, but I'd never been there yet. I was curious to see what it would be like - I was half expecting it to be a museum of the crowded, lower class tenement, but actually it was a museum of a middle-class tenement flat. Much like the flat I'm living in now.

There was an exhibit about how much things change over the decades, and they had papers for kids to predict what the world would be like in a hundred years.
