Review:
The American Writer's Museum is a new museum in Chicago celebrating the history and legacy of America's greatest writers, opened to the public in May of 2017. The museum, which was modeled after the Dublin Writer's Museum, is the home of the Wintrust Chicago Gallery, which honors seminal figures in the city's literary community, with a focus on how the city's authors have pushed social boundaries and served as positive agents of social change in America. At the museum's Children's Literature Gallery, young visitors can enjoy interactive exhibitions, including tabletop reading screens. Other exhibitions include the Nation of Writers literary timeline and the Mind of a Writer gallery, which offers wordplay activities and other games to help young writers hone their creative and literary skills.
