The Abakanowicz Research Center (ARC) is open Tuesday through Friday from 12:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. year-round and on Saturdays from Labor Day through Memorial Day.
Orientations to the ARC may be arranged via the university partner group reservation form. A member of the ARC staff will guide students through the process of conducting research at the Chicago History Museum and will highlight aspects of the collection that are germane to your course topic. ARC orientations must be scheduled to conclude prior to 11:30 a.m. so that research staff may prepare for public operations.
From Labor Day through Memorial Day, students can visit the ARC individually on Saturdays.
