A major museum and research center for Chicago and U.S. history, the Chicago History Museum strives to be a destination for learning, inspiration, and civic engagement. Through dynamic exhibitions, tours, publications, special events and programming, the Museum connects people to Chicago\u2019s history and to each other. The Museum collects and preserves millions of artifacts, documents, and images to assist in sharing Chicago stories.
