We loved visiting this museum. I was very surprised by how emotionally moving some of the exhibits are. We spent about 2 hours here and could have easily spent 3 or 4. The entire staff is so friendly and happy to share about the various times in history, exhibits they have, and their own stories. If you are interested in learning about Ukraine or have any family ties, I highly recommend stopping in and giving yourself at least an hour to visit. They do have free on site parking (I was slightly worried about parking before we got there). They have a large variety of beautiful items and history, along with information about current events. The only draw back was not having enough time to read and see everything. Many times when we go to a museum we don't read or see every little thing. But here I would absoutley have loved to taken the time.

We popped in here on a whim, which turned out to be one of the best little experiences of my weekend in Chicago. The museum guide was recently displaced from Ukraine and had a lot of interesting information - historical, modern and personal- about the exhibits in the museum. He was also very able to tie the exhibits to everyone's personal ethnic background. We learned about the Kyivan Rus, the displacement camps, and a great deal about the Ukrainian mindset. I'd read some of the history of Ukraine when a friend doing PhD work in Crimea was displaced during Euromaidan in 2014, but it was beyond helpful to hear everything from the perspective of a recent resident. Absolutely recommend stopping by if you're on Chicago- it's a small museum but certainly has a mighty history ๐บ๐ฆ

Was very delighted to have spent an hour and a half in this small museum. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, which turned our whole experience into visiting a friend's home in Ukraine. Meanwhile the museum had a pysanky(Easter egg) decorating workshop that uses beeswax and natural dyes throughout the extended delicate procedures. If you are curious of Ukrainian history, this is a must stop in Chicago!

I loved my visit here today! The women who run this place showed me and taught me so much about Ukrainian culture and how they made progress here in the USA. I learned all about Pusynka eggs and was able to purchase a few made from wood. I encourage everyone to go and learn about this beautiful culture.

The people who work there are WONDERFUL! Very interesting and short museum about the history of Ukraine. Make sure to have someone who works there to tour and tell you about the pieces that are there. Very interesting to learn about another culture! Admission fee is $5 (Cash and Credit Card accepted)
