From the President
A very rare treat awaits you. Come to the Museum and get a behind-the-scenes look at our staff putting together a major exhibition. Chic Chicago: Couture Treasures from the Chicago History Museum is being assembled behind glass doors next to our Visitor's Center. The show opens September 27, but the view this summer is fascinating. Check out our new collection of "Schlappis," the cool, white Italian mannequins we have bought to display our haute couture. Watch our curators working on the garments and the displays. Chic Chicago opens this fall, but now is the time to look over our shoulders!
