DETAILS:
Jane Addams Hull-House Museum serves as a dynamic memorial to social reformer Jane Addams, the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and her colleagues whose work changed the lives of their immigrant neighbors as well as national and international public policy. The Museum preserves and develops the original Hull-House site for the interpretation and continuation of the historic settlement house vision, linking research, education, and social engagement. The Museum is located in two of the original settlement house buildings- the Hull Home, a National Historic Landmark, and the Residents' Dining Hall, a beautiful Arts and Crafts building that has welcomed some of the world's most important thinkers, artists, and activists.
VISITOR EXPERIENCE:
Join a guided tour of both floors of the Hull-House Museum, the Museum's gift shop and the Courtyard. The main exhibition on view is Radical Craft: Arts Education at Hull-House, 1889-1935, exploring the history and legacy of arts education at the country’s most influential social settlement. There will also be hands-on weaving instruction with The Weaving Mill. Use refurbished looms from the Hull-House collection. No previous experience is required.
