Design Museum of Chicago

The design museum is free to visit. The puzzle exhibit was super fun!

Really cool free art. They are constantly changing the gallery up.

Nice small art gallery. It is free and staff is nice. Support artists.

Great gallery space! I went with a friend for On the Precipice -- a lot of the works on display had little to do with design in a functional sense, but used the space well and were interesting + well treated by the commentary on the labels. The staff were warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great place to stop in, and I'm excited to start popping in regularly for other exhibits!

What is Design and how do you define it? I was truly disappointed, firstly because we came two times during opening hours and it was closed with no further notice, but secondly because this museum doesn’t have anything in common with design. It is an okey conceptual art gallery, but there was nothing about design. The gallery is very chaotic the works dont have labels, there is only guard which doesn’t know anything about the gallery or other art places. Well, it is free, so if you have nothing to do, it is okey, but if you are looking for design , you can definitely skip this place.

Absolutely beautiful art exhibit. Very small, only one large room, but very worth visiting! Interesting, unique museum.

Cool little museum located in the heart of Chicago. Ultra convenient location with plenty of public transportation options. Not very large although they do fill in the area with as many artifacts as possible. Completely free exhibit means there’s no excuse to not stop by if you’re in the area. Doesn’t take too long to browse though and is absolutely amazing if you’re interested in the subject currently on display. The only reason it’s not a 5 star location is if the topic on display is not grabbing your attention, it’s quite hard to find a diversity of design aspects and artifacts to latch on for your attention.
