About this place
The American Writers Museum is an interactive museum in downtown Chicago devoted to American writing across genres, from novels and poetry to speeches and song. Families can explore hands-on permanent and temporary exhibits, including a current display on 250 years of writing toward independence, and kids can join the Little Squirrels Storytime held on free admission days. The museum offers in-person and virtual field trips for school groups, along with curriculum resources by grade level. It is open Thursday through Monday from 10am to 5pm, is wheelchair accessible, and offers discounted admission for seniors and students, with free admission on the third Sunday of each month.
If you are a member here
A membership to American Writers Museum carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in these programs.
- the full ROAM list Museums of all kinds, usually at higher membership levels
- the full NARM list Art, history and cultural institutions. Not valid within 15 miles of here.
Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
