Museum Closure for Indigenous Peoples' Day, 2019.

In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, the Museum will be closed on Monday, October 14. We acknowledge that the land where the Museum is has been stewarded by the Miami, Peoria, Potawatomi, and Illinois tribes. At our offices in River North, which is just blocks away from where Cabrini-Green once stood, we also recognize a similar history of forced displacement.

The Smithsonian writes about lifting up the rich history, cultures, and traditions of Indigenous peoples of America and the importance of reassessing histories.
