Visiting Chicago

We enjoyed the special Comic exhibit. Very good museum store! The 76 year-old man married to Naomi recalled many comics, but your exhibits informed us of a history of comics and talented cartoonists never imagined ! The cultural and anti-racism messages are so important to your visitors…

Fun and Learning

Fay_F, Sep 2021

The Comics Strip exhibit was terrific!!! Loved going back in time and seeing the artistry - ink drawings, the humor etc. I also liked seeing some of today’s talent. On a more delicate note, the restrooms need attention/cleaning/sanitizing more often ugh

Very nice place to visit

Mine_S, Aug 2021

Chicago Comics exhibition was amazing. Paintings of Christina Quarles were also breathtaking. It was really fun to explore art and learn more.

Fun cartoon exhibit

Linda_C, Jul 2021

Fun cartoon exhibit. Most interesting were comics by African-American artists in 60s-80’s. Would have liked more material from 60’s, as well as some comics from the Chicago Sun-Times. The exhibit was focused more on contemporary “underground “ cartoons.

Give your money to the homeless

Tom_S, Jul 2021

Extremely disappointing don’t waste your time. The staff was rude but the customers were even more rude. Your money would be better spent given to the homeless

A MUST SEE

The museum was wonderful and intriguing. I recommend any one to visit when in Chicago you won’t be disappointed.

Interesting

Kimberly_A, May 2021

The museum was very nice. The artist artwork was very unique and interesting. It taught me a new prospective on art.

Good value

Kathy_D, May 2021

Nice layout and variety of artists. Good value for the price. Some displays were a little edgy for us B

Educational and enriching

yana_v, May 2021

Very well organized, attended is well lit, positioned and composed. For those who appreciate contemporary art, it’s an opportunity to rediscover or discover a few remarkable artists. Unfortunately some of work are heavily politicized, but not all.

Excelent

Oscar_A, Apr 2021

excellent experience, the works of art are very well explained and give you a general idea of the author, the staff are very professional and helpful, it is highly recommended and very good

Boring

John_H, Mar 2021

Perhaps I don’t understand contemporary art. I thought what was on display in Chicago was disappointing. It has such a terrific location but the variety of display was very poor.
