I am not usually a fan of art museums but I really wanted to visit this museum for the Dia de los muertos exhibition. I was not disappointed at the exhibits.

I knew nothing about Mexico before I went to this Museum and I was staggered to find a rich diversity of history and culture in such a quiet, hard-to-find suburb (I am "geographically challenged" at the best of times). The Art is superb and includes just about everything from contemporary graffiti to old-fashioned "artsy and crafty" items which depict Mexico's... More

We found this museum while exploring the Pilsen neighborhood. For a smaller museum, it had a surprising number of exhibits and gave a great overview of the Mexican-American influence in Chicago.

How many museums are free anymore. Yes, it's a bit out of the way for most visitors, but you can get there on public transportation. It's in Pilsen, a neighborhood west of downtown with a large Mexican population. It's easy to do the museum in a relatively short time. There's a good Day of the Dead show every year, and... More
