Highlight of my week in Chicago. All Poles should make the pilgrimage and learn some more of their history. Excellent Polish library next door, and the museum is even better. Thinking of going back again, even if just to see the paintings by Tadeusz Kościuszko. Beautiful Polish Church close by, go see that too.

National Hellenic Museum is really a highlight from my Chicago trip. Big museum - lots to see and learn. Amazing exhibition on current refugee crisis in Europe, and very often overlooked impact on Greece. Great floor with Greek American history. Very much recommended!

This is for people that enjoy taking photos Our group really enjoyed it ages 40 and 12yrs old.So just varies on person. We def would go back... only room didn’t care for was infinity room ( your group and others get 1 minute) and just wasn’t impressed with that room.. would be nicer to have 1 person at a time or smaller groups.. Just take your time in each other rooms and soak it all up.. don’t forget your free button at gift shop.. free lockers also that was a plus!!
