Last week a friend and I ventured out on a rainy, stormy afternoon spring afternoon in Northern Illinois to celebrate a birthday. We went to the Lakeside Inn in Wauconda and had a very nice lunch. The Lakeside Inn is a small local restaurant and bar in a historical building was built in 1847 and was supposedly a stop over for Al Capone when he would pass through on his way back from Lake Geneva (according to the story on the menu).
After a tasty lunch (they have very good food!), we went over to the Lake County Discovery Museum to view the LP Art show! As we walked around and viewed sixty years of outstanding album cover artwork in the LP Art special exhibition, it was like a trip back in time!
It was fun to see the albums we grew up listening to and they even had audio so you could listen to some of the music. It certainly made that Birthday sink in a little more seeing "our" music up on a wall in a museum!!
They also had other interesting exhibits of old advertisements as well as postcard art and a gift shop. If you find yourself in the area, stop in and check it out. If you live in the area, plan a visit. It really is a nice facility and right in our own back yard!

LP Art! That's right up my alley, wish I was there. I still have a huge record collection. Love them.
I wish I could be there to check this out, I know my family and I would love it! I have a personal collection of over 12,000 LPs and I absolutely love some the art that was created in the 60's and 70's. I have recordings going back to the early 1900's through today, yes they still make records, just not very many and only certain artists still produce them, but they are out there.
Do you know if this is a touring art show?
Chris...thanks for stopping by and for your comment! Check the links below...the show may be coming to your area:-)
Todd....I am pretty sure it is a traveling show. You can probably find out through these links:

It sounds like you have a very extensive collection and I actually did not know they were still making vinyl, so that is very interesting.
