    Nicely manageable art museum. It is a small space but not too small. They showcase an artist on the first floor and then have several artists on the second floor. Then written summaries about the artist and works are clear and sensible. The space is clean and uncrowded.

    @depaulartmuseum was The last study visit within my US research journey this year. Closing my @the_fulbright_program with this great institution was a cherry on the top. 🍒 Thank you @ionitbehar and her colleagues for a great discussion about how audience engagement is in a center of DePaul Museum’s activities and how they actually thing about different target groups from the planning of the exhibitions through programming to data and visitor’s feedback. The museum is awesome, it has participatory activities as a part of the exhibition and similar to @nublockmuseum the current exhibition deals with tough topic, so I appreciate a small flyer with listed activities how to absorb your thoughts and emotions after visit. I do really appreciate their visitor research done in cooperation with @msichicago about belonging in the museum space. They do also have their amazing publications and have great student stuff who are ready to answer your questions any time during your visit. #universitymuseum #unig #audienceengagement #depaulmuseum

    Steps from the L, this little museum is very nice and cozy. Has two floors and showcases a great little variety of artists. Took around half an hour to go through, and I would definitely go again when they change the exhibits. If you're in the area or just waiting for a train I would definitely stop by! It's free after all.

    Super cool place. The exhibits are sparse, but interactive and colorful. The video displays are considered exhibits, too. (I'm a DePaul student and happy to finally visit.)

    This small museum has very interesting exhibits. When I visited it, they had three exhibitions, from which I really enjoyed two of them. It is located very near to Fullerton station on Red line and it is free of charge.

    Atrocious “museum” for guilt-ridden undergrads to virtue signal themselves through crude shapes and colors. Regardless of my interpretation of the political propaganda, I mean “art,” the fact that this building exists is a disgrace. Do a little research and learn how much this place cost to build, why it was so expensive and how corruption in the city proliferates through this “educational establishment.” What a waste of funds, and what was trickled into the building doesn’t provide enough useful space for much of a gallery…not that DePaul could draw an artist of real significance.

    Small museum(I can't imagine spending more than an hour here even if you're going very slowly), but admission is free and the exhibits were interesting. Recommend stopping by if you're in the area, or don't mind making a pit stop while riding the red line.

    I was disappointed because the hours on the website showed that the museum is open till 7pm but when we arrived on Wednesday (a day before Thanksgiving) at 3pm it was already closed. There was a white sheet of paper taped to the front door saying that due to the holiday the museum will reopen next Wednesday. Why didn't they say it on their website? What a waste of a day for us....

    I always love stopping in here! They have unique exhibitions that always charm. Great little spot to spend a rainy afternoon.

    Great style. I found the exhibition there at the time very political but interesting to todays political sphere.

    Unique. Great cultural spot away from the museum campus. Small, you can do whole museum in 45 minutes.

    A great little museum, conveniently located just east of the Fullerton CTA station--you can always count on an interesting exhibit. Timewise, it does not require the commitment of a larger museum, but you will still leave feeling satisfied. Feels very accessible to the public, since it's a newly-built standalone building, and not hidden within the DePaul University campus.
