MBC

“A fantastic space celebrating the shared emotional experiences of television and radio, especially the enormous contributions of Chicago’s TV and radio giants.”

— Dean Richards, WGN-TV/Radio Entertainment Critic
"This welcoming gem provides ceaseless smiles and waves of warm nostalgia. The exhibits are well-curated and invite us all to “pull up a chair and enjoy the show!” It’s just plain FUN!"

—Hosea Sanders, Entertainment Anchor, ABC 7 Chicago
“The Carson exhibit, along with everything else the MBC has to offer, deeply connects us with our treasured memories and will provide today’s younger generations with an important education on how late-night television started and how it has evolved.”

—Allison Rosati, NBC5 Chicago News Anchor
“The museum’s headline exhibition strikes a thoughtful balance, satisfying in its depth to those of the generation for whom Carson is the embodiment of television entertainment, while still serving as a cogent entry point for those who are young enough to have never heard of him at all.”

—Bianca Bova, Chicago Reader
"As curator, this was truly a labor of love. The MBC’s triumphant return is highlighted by the new exhibit, Five Decades of The Loop, which captures the outrageous spirit and legendary personalities that made The Loop one of a kind.”"

—Rick Kaempfer, Illinois Entertainer
