It's a cute, small museum. There's so much information contained within I got a little overwhelmed. I loved the interactiveness of the exhibits, especially the old typewriters they had for public use. It was very quiet when I went, with only a small handful of people around

The most underrated museum I've visited. Most locals I've spoken to haven't heard of it, and I went there not expecting much and to be in and out in an hour. I spent three hours there as it was just so well set-up and was incredibly interesting with exhibits on modern writing, older writing, poetry, novels, and speeches. Strong representation of Black American writing too which was something I had little prior knowledge on, and this was a real highlight. Even had old school typewriters for people to practice on and type up letters. Really well worth visiting.

Beautiful, thoughtful museum curated to inspire and educate. Small footprint, but hours of thoughtful information and reflection. Worth a visit.

How to communicate the contributions of American writers? Not a visual medium. But the American Writers Museum has done it, with creative and interactive exhibits. Definitely worth seeing. Hard to find though. It is on the second floor of a building in downtown Chicago, right across the street from Nutella and Stan's Donuts. There is a sign displayed on the building front but it is hard to see.
