Museums showcase green building with home exhibits

Posted March 8th, 2010 by

Rooftop gardens, cisterns, windmills and recycled kitchen countertops are featured in green home exhibits at museums in Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

On Thursday in Chicago, the 2,500-square-foot, fully functioning “Smart Home” exhibit will re-open with a new interior at the the Museum of Science and Industry. More than 200,000 visitors have toured the modern prefab home since it opened in May 2008.
