Design Museum of Chicago

We believe design has the fundamental capacity to improve the human condition, and strive to make it accessible to everyone through free exhibitions in a public space in the Chicago Loop.

A local, non-profit cultural institution, Design Museum of Chicago strives to meet people where they are, facilitating conversations around design comprised of a variety of voices, backgrounds, and viewpoints. We believe that design is not just a single discipline or process, but rather a persistent element present in our everyday environments and experiences.Formerly Chicago Design Museum, we have exhibited about a wide variety of topics, from architecture in Ireland to games in modern culture. We value our position as a volunteer- and community-based organization and strive to make our space as accessible to those who wish to contribute to our culture of collaboration as it is to visitors.
