National Hellenic Museum

Located in the heart of Chicago's Greektown, the National Hellenic Museum aims to interpret the American experience through the history of Greek immigrants and their contributions to the American landscape while celebrating their history and culture. A new building with new exhibits, it's slowly building its collections although several of the exhibits are well-done. The museum offers many cultural activities throughout the year for the community including teaching a group of students Greek dances. Free docent-led tours (with $10 general admission fee) of the American Moments Exhibition is available from 1-2pm every Sunday. The Museum offers a well-curated selection of gifts made by Greek and Greek American artisans.
