Exhibition

From July 13 to October 13, the show is free and open to the public from 10am - 5pm, every day. The museum will be closed on Labor Day, Monday, September 2, 2024.

The show covers a range of content, and includes mediums such as film, sculpture, and painting. The majority of the exhibition takes place in the main gallery, though a few pieces will also be showcased in other parts of the gallery. There is a small lip less than one inch into a small back portion of the space called The Vault Gallery. Any films are captioned.

Brief audio descriptions are available for all of the pieces in the exhibit, accessible by QR code. Please bring headphones if you wish to access this aspect of the exhibit.

Design Museum of Chicago

The Design Museum of Chicago is located at 72 E Randolph St Floor 1, Chicago, IL 60601.

There are many bus stops around the area. The Lake Red line and Washington Blue line stop are the closest accessible CTA train stops to the museum (about 0.2 miles). Cars can pull into the alley immediately to the east of the museum for ease of drop off. Parking in the area is scarce and for pay.

There are two shallow steps to enter the museum, as well as a wheelchair-accessible ramp. The entry door to the museum does not have a push button, but the entrance is staffed at all times. The doorway is 33 inches wide.

The main gallery has fluorescent lights, but all of these will be off except for a few safety lights. The space is otherwise lit with incandescent track lighting.

The gallery is on the main level, though the all-gender bathrooms are down a level, accessible by elevator. There are grab bars in the restrooms.

Service animals trained to specifically assist people with disabilities are welcome.
