The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center has extended the run of its exhibit "Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg" through Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021.
Based on the New York Times best-selling book and Tumblr page of the same name, Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the first-ever museum exhibition focused solely on the U.S. Supreme Court justice.
Briefs and other writings by RBG, including some of her famously searing dissents, are woven throughout the exhibit. In keeping with the spirit of Carmon and Knizhnik's book, the exhibition riffs off the playful connection between Notorious RBG and rapper Notorious B.I.G. The name of each gallery section alludes to a song or lyric from the late hip-hop artist.
There are also virtual group tours available.
Museum admission is free-$15/per person, depending on age. General-admission entry at the museum is Wednesdays through Sundays at 10 a.m.-4 p.m. ( The museum closes at 5 p.m. )
