Chicago Museum Week returns for its second year Oct. 13 – 23 with discounted admission, exclusive offers and special programs. During the 11-day celebration, Illinois residents will receive 10 – 25 percent off admission at participating institutions.
Museum Week is a celebration of Chicago’s museums and cultural destinations that connect us with art, culture, history, science, animals and nature. It’s a chance to discover a new museum in Chicago, or rediscover a favorite one.
Special offers and activities include discounts on general admission and memberships, fall festivals, artist lectures, extended hours, free tours, new exhibits, educational programs and giveaways. Details are available at chicagomuseumweek.com.
