Griffin Museum

Malfunctioning museum gate could pose safety hazard

On June 29, a visitor to the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago tried to leave the museum’s parking lot. The automated gate that reads QR codes did not open, even after the codes were scanned and instructions were followed. Cars lined up, with about ten vehicles waiting to exit at one point. Eventually a driver helped open the gate manually, but the problem caused delays and a safety concern.
