Late Wednesdays: March

Join us for the next Late Wednesday, when we’ll be open until 8:00 pm. Enjoy the Museum after hours with extended access to the galleries and gift shop. Stroll through current exhibitions, pick up a unique gift, and take in the art in a more relaxed setting.

This month, we’re pleased to offer a free guided tour of Rieles y Raíces: Traqueros in Chicago and the Midwest at 6:00 pm, led by exhibition co-curator Ismael Cuevas, MA. Cuevas will guide visitors through the gallery, sharing insights into the exhibition’s development and the powerful history it explores. More than a century has passed since the first wave of Mexican immigrants arrived in Chicago—many directly recruited by railroad companies that helped establish the city’s prominence. However, the history of Mexican and Mexican American traqueros in the Midwest has long been overlooked.
