Chicago History Museum

For over 150 years, the Chicago History Museum has provided visitors and residents with the keys to the citys past, present and future. After an extensive renovation in 2006, the Chicago History Museum reimagined what a history museum could be interactive, colorful and exciting, just like the rough-and-tumble city it celebrates. With world-renowned exhibitions, programs and special events for kids and adults, visitors can explore all of the triumphs and trials that made Chicago one of the worlds greatest cities and the center of commerce and culture that it is today.
