Following his 1924 retirement as chairman of the board of Sears, Roebuck & Company, [[Julius Rosenwald]] embarked on a campaign to found a science and industry museum in Chicago similar to the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany, which he had visited in 1911. Although a city bond issue provided some funds, Rosenwald and his estate spent over $11 million through the mid-1940s. Portions of the Museum of Science and Industry opened in 1933, one year after Rosenwald's death, and the entire museum opened in 1938.<ref> Ascoli (2006)</ref>
