Review & FAQ:

The Driehaus Museum is located in the Gilded Age home of banker Samuel Mayo Nickerson, one of the most expensive and elaborate residential buildings to exist in Chicago in the 19th century. The museum was founded by art collector and philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus, who spent five years restoring the home to its former glory before filling it with historically appropriate art pieces and opening it to the public.

The museum regularly hosts concerts, lectures, and family programs, and offers daily guided tours in addition to several seasonal themed tours. Private tours are available upon request.
