In Chicago Because Ive been looking and there are not too many sites out there.... PLEASE HELP I HAVE A REPORT DUE THURSDAY (MAY 3rd)|||Shedd Aquarium is also notable for its architecture. The basic design is taken from classical Greek architecture to match the other structures of the Museum Campus. The central aquarium building is octagonal, fronted by Doric columns and a formal staircase and topped by a dome. Aquatic motifs are worked in at every opportunity; tortoise shells, dolphins, octopuses, waves, and even the Trident of Poseidon can be found all over the aquarium's exterior and interior.

The Oceanarium is done in a more modern style representing the Pacific Northwest, but one that blends with the older part of the building. "Whale Harbor", the Oceanarium's 2 million gallon (7.5 million liter) main tank, is backed by a wall of windows that look out onto Lake Michigan.|||Here are a few sites that might help. The second one is probably the most extensive on the archtecture and restoration of the Shedd.
