A one-of-a-kind museum with short-term and permanent collections of outsider art. I loved viewing the dioramas by Marvin Tate, especially while listening to the associated music collaborations he did. The Henry Darger exhibit is not to be missed.

Excellent small museum which focuses on outsider art and is the only one that does across the US. Visit and learn about Henry Dargers past and artwork and visit the room that he lived in for years. Certainly a great space amd a great find in the city.

It’s a small space for a small price but it has a wonderful collection and the exhibits we saw were displayed well. I am a huge fan of folk and outsider art so I was happy to find a gallery that catered to that specific genre.

This art center is nice, its small but has interesting finds. Youll spend probably 20-30 min here, depending on how interested you are in the art on exhibit.

Very nice and cozy museum! They have some creative art after work events!

Everyone should go here. Very inspiring!

Interesting space, quite small but cheap to view, a nice date spot on the way to cocktails at Matchbox

Intuit changes the artwork there every so often so you can visit to see new works presumably every month or two. They do have restrooms along with a gift shop (some things are subject to be overpriced; Intuit shirts are $20). The second floor is for staff so dont try to go upstairs; feel free to explore the first floor as you want. Their opening and closing times are reasonable, and they were able to replicate an entire room from the mid/late 1900s which you can find in the back in which you can find out about the background from reading the displayed plaques. They show a good variety of different forms of visual artwork from 2D to 3D with different sculptures, art styles, designs, and more. Nice place to visit in your free time and could potentially somewhat be a romantic place depending on the couples taste.

Wonderfully curated. Great place to find new artists esp if MCA feels too mainstream for you.

A hidden gem to be sure. The Henry Darger room and collection of work is absolutely the highlight of the museum. His life and his art are fascinating and should be seen by all. I was also surprised to see some of the works of Chicago icon Wesley Willis. The last star is simply pending the proposed redesign of the building, which looks to be spectacular. Very excited to be a member to this great museum.

My school had an art exhibition there and all the students in art class had showcased their magnificent artworks. It was a pleasant experience and I had fun hanging out with my friends there!

Very insightful and outstanding exhibits! Very polite staff! A must see!

One of the very few galleries of its kind in the world. A temple for unrecognized talent, and an antidote for the often-appalling excesses of the commercial art market. Also, probably the only art museum one could describe as important, powerful, intense, beautiful - and also adorable.

This museum is SO NEAT. definitely worth a stop if you’re in Chicago.

Artists worthy of appreciation are being featured.

Small but some cool art. Easy to miss when visiting Chicago for art, but worth it for unusual work. Very cool stuff in gift shop.

The employees are very attentive and have lots of detail to share. The art is unique since its outsider art and is worth exploring

The food is great and the staff works there butts off but ever since they sold out to this company the amount off beef on my big beef sandwich is alot less. The best advice I can give to Portillos is if something works dont change it

Good place to hide from the cops.

Great museum and a wonderful gift shop.

Be an insider to outsider art. Whether or not you are into outsider art, Intuit is compulsory visit for anyone interested in exploring little known artists charting their own creative history. On a recent visit, I saw an impressive collection of black folk art made of found objects covering themes of religion and sex. The small gallery also feature intriguing anonymous art from the Kinsey Institute Collection. Poetically perverse. Oh, and there is the incredible Henry Darger Room! Not to be missed. Pay as you wish. Please donate generously. Im into it.

A unique museum that displays truly eye opening work by self taught artists that you would never get to see anywhere else. They also have a lovely gift shop with truly unique items like original work by local artists at an affordable price.

I loved the Justin Duerr exhibit!

Like no other Gallery/Museum in the best way possible!

Small local exhibit of very nice art works.

Amazing, beautiful, charming, delightful, eccentric, fantastic......I could go through the whole alphabet. I recommend watching In the Realms of the Unreal prior to your visit.

Great display of various outsider artists. Enjoyed the Henry Darger room. Staff are very helpful.

Our favorit for years. Had our portrait done. Amazing events. If you want to make a huge contribution give to the Front Window. Step up Chicago. This is a in our city. OutSiderArt at its best.

Awesome! One of my favorite places to see great art!

An interesting little gallery displaying work that you wouldnt normally come across. It was a learning experience and a fun way to spend part of the afternoon. The door slams loudly when you enter or exit, so close it gently or cover your ears.

Friendly staff and interesting exhibits

ART personalised

Really fascinating collection. Interesting curation that enriches the experience of getting to know the art. Collection, especially the Darger room, reveals the hidden trauma that often manaically drives some naive artists.

Awesome little unique art museum.

Small museum. Always something to think about. Talk to the staff. They have great stories to tell.

Small but a lot of art to view!

I was visiting for a brief Time in Chicago and i was told to visit the intuit and i happened​ to catch their Darger exhibit. Staff was very inviting and knowledgeable about the Chicago native and artist. I was not disappointed​

The receptionist was so lovely, the works are great examples of folk art.

One of the most magic and entrancing museums in Chicago! This spot is donation only and is a hugely important asset to the city! Check out the events they host- theyre always a hit.

Nice small museum with just enough to look at without overwhelming you.

This is an outstanding small art museum with very helpful and attentive staff; highly recommend checking this little gem out!

Exceptional exhibits of outsider art. Great staff who are willing to answer your questions.

This place is so unique. Add the fact that its free, and youve got yourself a recipe for an incredible time.

Awesome space for outsider art

I enjoyed this museum, it is small but worth it.

Small weird Museum...

Outsider art and a great gallery.

Always intriguing!

Awesome resource...awesome staff...awesome events

This place is a bit out of the way, quite small, and the exhibits had limited interest.

The facility needs more out reach and cheaper Darger memorabilia

Great collection to view.

Small but always interesting collection

Art you wont see anywhere else.

Absolute gem. The matchstick boat and the Henry Darger gallery are highlights.
