Chicago: Live in a museum for 30 days, collect $10,000
Some trips are an adventure.
Now Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry are offering a once in the lifetime adventure that will never let you leave the confines of its walls.
The museum wants one person to live there for 30 days. That’s 24/7 inside the museum. When people 
leave, you stay — able to wander around the exhibits when no one else is there. In fact, when people are there, you may not even get to see them as you’ll be busy writing about the things you’ve done while there. And when it’s all over — and you either really love, or hate, the museum you’ll get $10,000 for your troubles as well as a slew of high tech gadgets.
So why is the museum doing this program? Well, it’s trying to promote the museum with a person writing about it nonstop. In fact, the person selected will become part scientist, part experiment and part exhibit.
Click here to apply, and remember, you have to provide the following:
- VIDEO: A 60-second video (on DVD, playable on DVD player) telling us about you and why you should be the person chosen for this assignment. Use the video to showcase the creativity and qualities that make you the right person.
- ESSAY: A 500-word essay that explains why you want to be the person chosen to live in the Museum for a month.
- APPLICATION FORM: Complete and sign the application form and short-answer sheet.
- PHOTO: Submit a 5” x 7” head shot
- RELEASE AND WAIVER: Execute the Release and Waiver accompanying the application form.
There are some other rules you have to follow, such as passing a drug test, can’t smoke — there’s no smoking on the museum property, which you’re not allowed to leave — and the museum requires a head shot, so, you can’t be ugly. Illinois
But it still sounds pretty cool and once you do it, you may never look at museums the same way again.
