This stretch of land features an array of shops, restaurants and bars. The Southern Illinois University Museum Carbondale, ... Leggi tutto boasting a collection of more than 50,000 objects and several temporary exhibits of art and historic artefacts, is an art as well as a history lover’s haven. Also of note is the African-American Museum of Southern Illinois, which commemorates the outstanding achievements of African-American citizens.
