Month at the Museum is not the sequel to a new Ben Stiller movie, it's one very lucky person's once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to actually live in a museum 24/7—for an entire month! The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago is hunting for a roommate to live full-time in its historic 14-acre building and share their experiences with the public.

The museum describes their ideal candidate as "an adventurous, outgoing person with a strong interest in learning about science and the world around her or him, plus the ability to write very well about your experiences. Ideally, you're also the web-savvy sort who can keep your thumb out of frame when taking photographs."

The selected individual will live in the museum from October 20 to November 18, 2010, and will win $10,000, a package of tech gadgets, and an honorary lifetime museum membership.

Applications are due August 11, 2010. Download the entry form here
