Museum Week / Special Retro Ad of the Week: The Shedd Aquarium, 1940’s

This Museum Week, we’re taking a look into the fantastical underwater world with this provocative 1940’s ad for The Shedd Aquarium. Their daring take on family fun may be on the risque side for attraction advertising today, however, I can imagine a lot more men signing up for that family aquarium trip if they were still advertising like this!

Tell us about your favorite museum memories in the Comments and happy Museum Week!
