Reviews of Polish Museum of America (Museum)

Amelia Chase

It is full of beautiful Polish art and history, and those working there know all about all of it. I had a great experience there, and I very much recommend people, (especially those with Polish lineage,) visit this museum.

Eleanor Brooks

Cool cultural spot with surprising artistic treasures.

Paul Johnstone

Our tour guide LUCY was wonderful. The museum has an amazing assortment of historical artifacts. Lucy was extremely knowledgable and gave detailed explanations about every exhibit. I would not have wanted to explore the museum without her. Her personality and proficiency made the tour informationally beneficial and a delightful experience.

I stopped here on a day trip and was so impressed. There was so much to see and the staff was welcoming and informative. I will be back when I can take more time to see all of the exhibits. We also thoroughly enjoyed the gift shop.

The volunteers and staff are incredibly knowledgeable - ask questions! The special exhibit was very interesting, but the permanent collection covers so much you will have to go back for a second visit! I highly recommend this museum!

Only Polish museum in Chicago

Heather Britt

Great place with a piece of polish history. Worth visiting at least once.

Amy Walus

Amazing museum, went here at a slower time and the guide was so happy and enthusiastic to help us learn about polish history both in the United States and Poland. She did such an excellent job of engaging and teaching us throughout our experience, and I will gladly recommend this as place to visit for anyone who can make it a part of their time in Chicago.

Jes Earle

Extremely kind people. Great artifacts.

Sam LeVon

Hidden gem! Get the tour from historian Jan Lorys and you will not be disappointed!! Most of the Polish exhibit at the 1939 world's fair in nyc is here. Great polish history, art, and cultural artifacts.

Has a unique collection of art, historical and cultural artifacts. More than a few art pieces are of Art Institute of Chicago quality. In many cases the Polish Museum is the only place worldwide that certain artist's work can be viewed. A significant portion of the collection consists the type of Inter World War artwork that was heavily destroyed by World War II bombing in Europe, as well as looting & vandalism. The artwork and historical artifacts however, often suffer from poor antiquated lighting, because of tight budgetary constraints. However recently many display cabinets have received updated lighting. If you haven't been recently you, may be pleasantly surprised. It's a hidden gem in Chicago and worthy of your patronage & support!
