Shedd Shut

The Shedd Aquarium is closed until Friday so museum staff can "polish new programs, reconfigure guest amenities and make final preparations for the Oceanarium renovation." Fans of aquatic life probably recall that the Oceanarium will remain OOC for the next nine months or so, but the aquarium will reopen September 5, and general admission will be free through September 9. Time to conquer my fear of fish! Just kidding, I'll never get over that. [Shedd]
