A free museum (with suggested donation). The art and artifacts cover a vast part of Mexican culture and history, including its relation to the US and the city of Chicago.

Excellent cultural & art museum ! Must see. Learned a lot about the Mexican’s history in Chicago. Fascinating art . The Museum shop is also very interesting. Free entrance.

NMMA has been a proud supporter of the LBGTQA community at large, hosting Queer Prom, and a wealth of other Community events , they also have amazing art exhibits , and are largely free!

Free admission everyday but please do donate something into the donation collection boxes. Great Día de los Muertos exhibit in the fall/month leading up to the actual holiday.

Not huge but incredible display of work. There is a lot of passion and thought put into the exhibits and the pieces that are curated. Very emotional and eye opening.

Elena Jacobs Lopez

Fantastic exhibits and the permanent collection is dynamic. Look for Sunday Civic Orchestra concerts in the large open use spaces.
