American Writers Museum

The American Writers Museum, opening in Chicago in spring 2017, is the first national museum in the United States dedicated to engaging the public in celebrating American writers and exploring their influence on our history, our identity, our culture and our daily lives. The American Writers Museum will: - Educate the public about American writers – past and present - Engage visitors to the Museum in exploring the many exciting worlds created by the spoken and written word - Enrich and deepen appreciation for good writing in all its forms - Inspire people of all ages and from all walks of life to discover, or rediscover, a love of reading and writing Through innovative and dynamic state-of- the-art exhibitions, as well as compelling programming, The American Writers Museum will educate, enrich, provoke and inspire the public. We invite you to join us in this movement!
