A taste of what's to come at the permanent location opening June '19 at Taylor and Ada. Former public housing residents will be docents. Great first hand information.

They're still under construction, but there is a terribly moving photojournalistic gallery show about a family deported from Dearborn to a ranch in impoverished rural Mexico - along with their teenage children, who are all native US citizens, and didn't even speak Spanish! - as well as a few artifacts and informational displays about the museum's subject, Public Housing in Chicago (and, to a lesser extent, beyond) . I am excited to see what they become when the full museum opens next year (2019).

Key Information !!!

Homeless awareness = KEY FACTOR

Work in progress when I visited but an enriching experience for the scope of visit.

will be bringing my step sisters next time, nice spot to visit

Such a cool space with non profits and artistic thinkers.

I visited before Covid closure. It was an incredible exhibition and I learned so much about our city and community, resiliency and strength in unity! I look forward to visiting again!

Just got a really nice place.

very important history. housing is important for everyone

Website says you can see the museum by appointment only, but it is not clear how the appointments are scheduled. The phone line says that exhibits are closed. I also didn’t realize this until I got there and the person who opened the door said the building wasn’t a museum, so maybe they have moved to their new location.

A special place for me !
