DETAILS:
A dynamic resource for people with an interest in the history of social reform, the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum offers exhibitions and programs that aim to inspire action. The museum serves to educate a diverse range of visitors, including young learners, the UIC community, and civic-minded people in Chicago and beyond. The Museum is located in two of the original settlement house buildings- the Hull Home, a National Historic Landmark, and the Residents' Dining Hall, a beautiful Arts and Crafts building that has welcomed some of the world's most important thinkers, artists, and activists.
VISITOR EXPERIENCE:
The Jane Addams Hull-House will be open all weekend for exploration and special activations. Hull-House staff will be on-site to answer questions and offer short tours about the building’s history and construction. Paying homage to bookbinder and Hull-House co-founder, Ellen Gates Starr, Regin Igloria will offer a drop-in community book binding workshop in the Residents’ Dining Hall on Saturday and Artist Olly Costello will lead a drop-in workshop on Sunday . Also on display will be artwork from our workshop series with the artists from Red Line Service, and temporary exhibitions "Perennial City: Experiments in Urban Gardening" and "Act Well Your Part, There All The Honor Lies."
