Summary: Chicago is home to a major new museum celebrating writers. But the new American Writers Museum isn’t just about poets and novelists. You’ll find everyone there from Thomas Jefferson to Tupac Shakur. In this episode of “Get Outta Here,” AP travel editor Beth Harpaz speaks with Associated Press writer Hillel Italie, who covers the book industry, about this new museum. How did the museum decide who to include and who to leave out, and how do you create compelling visuals when your subject matter consists of words? We’ll also talk a little bit about what else there is to do in Chicago nearby the new museum.
