Great place to visit and hear speakers on military history.

They like to mix politics with history.
The D-Day commemorative collection/display alone is worth the time and the ultra-modest 5 fee. Terrific location. Comfortable places to read and think. And the mementos/books for purchase also are excellent.
The Pritzker library is unrivaled as a study / work space. The Library has an elegant design, quite sophisticated ambience, and also unparalleled views of Millenium park. Didn't expect to find such a quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of city center!
We had some time to kill before heading home to the suburbs after a visit to Art Institute. I had enjoyed several PBS WTTW Presentations done by the PMM&L and saw that Library was open. We decided to investigate and are so pleased that we did. The staff welcomed us and helped us find books of interest. I am interested in the Fifth Army Italian Campaign 1943-1944, and was able to find some new materials I had not seen previously. I was very impressed with the wealth of information and friendliness of the staff. I will certainly visit again.
A very nice little museum. I came specifically to see the trench art, but enjoyed the entire collection.
Very clean and well organized. How often do you get a library and a museum at the same place?? I enjoyed my visit there saw a lot of display of the ww1 crafts and badges and read some of the history being displayed on the wall. You get to watch the video about the history on the TV on 3rd floor. So after my museum tour I came back to 2nd floor to study my books got 2 in one! But I think 3rd floor is more quiet if you choose to study and the library/museum is not free you will have to pay 5
This place is dope! They've got a wide variety of cool exhibits--I'm especially a fan of the earthquake simulator, aquarium, and rock and mineral collection. I wanted to go in the rainforest orb, but it was closed by the time I got to it :( NightLife is an experience you should definitely have if you live in SF and have even a passing interest in science. It's half the price of normal admission, the music is good, the presentations are unique, and the smattering of drink tables offer some pretty unique refreshments. Check it out!
