Your dollars assist us in the conservation of all of the items in our collection and help to support our award winning exhibitions, education programs, publications, and events.

We're celebrating our 150th anniversary, and we're also reopening with exciting new exhibitions to enthrall history lovers of all ages. Our new permanent installation, Chicago: Crossroads of America tells the stories of events, people, triumphs, and tragedies that have shaped Chicago into the city it is today. Your generous donations can be seen in every artifact, program, and event as we reopen our doors.

Thank you for your support.
