Chicago History Museum Online Exhibitions (If this address doesn't point you to the exhibitions, scroll down the page until you get to them).  The only one of these exhibitions I am familiar with was one I wrote about in the October 11, 1996 Scout Report, when it first opened. It was, and still is one of the best single of the Internet I have seen. Note how few of the SR  addresses work (including the one I wrote about this exhibit) after over 20 years. You can find most of them at Archive.org (The Wayback Machine). Simply type in the address.
