Chicago Historical Society

Chicago Historical Society has the most comprehensive collection of history. It depicts the history of Chicago and Illinois through exhibitions, programs, research collections, and publications.

Renovations are going on to make a dynamic, interactive, accessible and inspiring destination for all Chicagoans and visitors to the city.

New exhibitions and public programs will profoundly shape visitors' sense of the past, present and future.

After 150 years of celebrating and illuminating Chicago's history, the Chicago Historical Society is proud to announce thier new name — Chicago History Museum.

The "Chicago Picasso" resembles a giant baboon and is one of the most simultaneously loved and hated sculptures in the public eye. People could not guess the meaning of the giant baboon and would speculate on the inspiration.

Despite all the challenges to public art, Lash says it creates civic pride and is essential to any thriving metropolitan area.
