Join us on HeyGo for a virtual tour of our newest exhibition, Free + Open Chicago.

We’ll be taking a behind the scenes look and walkthrough of the exhibition with our Executive Director, Tanner Woodford.

Whether or not we notice it, design is inescapable. Design surrounds us and shapes our world both discreetly and obviously, both for better and for worse. Recognizing and understanding the influence of design decisions is critical in how we each shape our communities, recognize our agency, and engage with the world.

Free & Open Chicago features Chicago locations where the impact of design and designers is unmistakable. Each featured location is free and open to the public, just like the Design Museum of Chicago. Each has a unique influence on its community, visitors, and history.
