Jane Addams Hull-House Museum at Open House Chicago

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. 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. Sunday will feature seed-cleaning and art making with one of the exhibition's featured Artist Olly Costello. 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.
