Went here while on a ghost tour. I learned about the negative happenings of the old building. I am planning on making a trip to the museum itself during normal hours to learn more about all of the good things that happen here causing this building to be preserved and turned into a museum. It is of note that this is the most haunted house in the city of Chicago and multiple past inhabitants have written books about it going back to the 1800s. Many museum goers and workers have also reported haunted happenings as well.

We thought it would be a cool place to visit. It was. Historical and informative. Important landmark in Chicago and American history.Donation suggested but not required.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Hull house museum. Jane Addams was an amazing woman who made a big impact in Chicago.

Its beautiful and there is so much history!!! Wasnt able to go inside, as I visited on a Ghost Tour and it was night time. But the building, the history and the grounds were enough to obtain all the stars from me.

A really small museum and I will recommend it to all. I would suggest you take the free guided tour of 20mts and then go about exploring the little space even more.It is fascinating how the state would try and destroy anyone who is different from the ordinary, anyone who sympathises with the poor, questions the prevalent ideologies. Nothing had changed in that regard.

This Museum is a great place to learn about a brilliant, visionary, social worker. Jane Addams, a suffragette who espoused equal rights should be enjoyed and shared equally amongst all races and for all men and women. The oil paintings are pristine, and really lovely; the docent who expounded on the history was very knowledgeable friendly warm and engaging. A great place for a family visit, a great place to bring young people from a class. I highly recommend visiting here to learn and enjoy.

The museums layout was very organized and it was easy to follow along with the tour which was provided. Everything inside the museum ranging from Jane Addams clothing to personal diaries to even her furniture is 100% authentic, and what shed actually used and worn during her lifetime. The operating hours here can be a bit limited, but if you plan your visit accordingly, youll still be able to see so much in just one day! Janes personal letters and diaries, in particular, were what had been most noteworthy during my visit. It felt almost surreal, taking a step back in time more than 100 years, and seeing what one of Americas most famous social workers had been feeling, thinking, and journaling about back in her day. This would definitely be a place worth visiting, the next time that youre in Chicago. Theres just so much to see and experience.

In the heart of UIC. My teenage daughter enjoyed looking at the Jane Addams artifacts and getting an understanding of why voting is so important.

The Museum was very suitable for children to gain wonderful knowledge. The guidance was excellent because of they explained each and everything there. The arrangements were good without getting confusion we can easily find everything.

Lee Young Jun PEN ARTPen Art(General Remarks)Infinity of lines and dots have symbolism.  Such symbolism is ever changing according to the spirit’s depth.  All works are kaleidoscopic; they are usually composed of indescribable expressions.  Therefore, art’s depth also can be said to be unlimited.  Is pen art’s depth also infinite?  In other words, do the lines and dots flowing from the nib of a pen have an artistic qualification?  In this respect, it is worth thinking deeply.  Pen art begins from an essence of nature’s fundamental values.  From the standpoint of value, or color, a harmony of black and white is essential in nature.  As it is impossible to see any color in darkness, distinguishing color is an essential role of light.  That is why the soul is drawn to light.  Whiteness, or light is a spiritual reflection of the soul while blackness, or darkness is a reality of life on earth.  As the color green is an essential color of vegetation, burnt charcoal is an earthy color that will stay near black.  Blackness is heterogeneous and may be hostile to life.  If blackness belongs to the essence of nature, it also may be said to represent the image of death.  A combination of black and white constitutes degrees of lightness and darkness.  When painting black on a white background, the soul is transported to the white background.  Whiteness comes to life when contrasted with black line and black space.  In this case, soul also may be expressed through the blackness.  Soul may be transported to the black or a combination of white and black, which shed a mysterious merit to the soul or spirit.  Pen arts starts and ends from an essence of nature’s fundamental contrasts.  The primary essence is infinite and eternal while the artistic harmony of black and white can take one’s breath away.  But, this is not possible until a metamorphosis has been realized over many years and spiritual transcendence has occurred.  The transfer of spirit  occurs when one’s life experiences are projected onto the white canvas in harmony with blackness.  That is the true ‘pen art.’             Artist Lee Young JunI am a Korean.I pioneered the Lee Young Jun Pen Art andPerfected the genre.I am PEN Artist Lee Young Jun.Pen Art is the only genre is an important work In the world.The works are extremely valuable.And no one is able to work not dare to imitate.The hope my work can be sympathy to many people. Thank you.

Super informative and educational and very intersectional in content. I learned a ton, and it was definitely a highlight of my time in Chicago.

Some people are commenting that it is small or not interactive. Boo-hoo! This is a great piece of Chicago and American history. There actually is plenty to see here, and the quality of information is very high. The staff are also very knowledgeable, I highly recommend the guided tour which takes about an hour. You can spend more time looking further in depth after the tour. Free but donations accepted, make sure to throw em a few bucks!

Amazing part of Chicagos history

It was closed when i went there, but it was still nice to stop. Glad this could remain apart of the UIC campus.TIFA 2003

Went here on a field trip to write a paper. There is so much information about all different aspects, housing, arts, books and more! Its surprisingly small yet the workers are very knowledgeable. I was underwhelmed on how quick I went through everything. Many of my classmates felt that the information in the museum could have been easily found in the internet, Im not quite sure that is true. Regardless, I think the information presented was interesting and useful for the paper. On the down side, our drive there and back was 2 hours and we were able to spend 45 minutes to look at everything, so choose your time wisely.

The tour guides are great. One of the earliest examples of an American settlement house, the early precursor to modern social work.

It was fun there in getting what happen back then in now how things changes

It is a little spooky at night

Just learned about life of Jane Addams. wonderful spot that keeps memories

My little one loves this place, so much to do and they learn so much playing with everything around them. They just have so much fun.

Ivaluable experience. The historical elements on display give breadth and depth to the efforts of Jane Addams and many other strong women and men who invested their lives living out their belief democracy carries potential of lifting up the voices and lives of those who have little when they were willing to work together in community. Bless their example, we need it as much now.

I LOVE history, but its very basic for a museum. If they got more funding they could probably make it more interactive and interesting.

Great place. Highly recommend if youre a student in Social Work or even if you just want to learn about life in early Chicago.

I learned a lot during my visit to this museum. More people should explore Hull-House and Jane Addams history!

If you are near UIC or Greektown or even in the West Loop, this is well worth the visit. Set aside about 30 to 45 minutes to walk through the display. A lot of great history.

The staff is wonderful and it is a great learning experience for larger groups, such as under 50 people.

It provides you with a peek at what it was like back then.

Free to the public. Friendly staff. Really educational. So glad this is a museum.

A fantastic place to visit and learn, especially with it being free!!

This place is amazing. Learn about many of the social programs that helped make Chicago a wonderful multicultural and multifaceted city!

Jane Addams was a true humanitarian from the early 1900s. And her legacy continued even into the 1970s. My son learned how to swim at a Hull House facility at Belmont and Broadway (now an overpriced health club in 1973.

This museum has different collections of our history and we can gain knowledge through this museum. The staff was very friendly and they explained each and everything with patience. My opinion is that it is one of the best way to gain knowledge about the natural things about our history.

Very informative, my visit was not as interactive as I would have wished. Still had some great photos and film to share.

The Museum was very suitable for children to gain wonderful knowledge. The guidance was excellent because of they explained each and everything there. The arrangements were good without getting confusion we can easily find everything.

Jane Addams Hull house is a great piece of history here in Chicago. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and its a great place for children in small groups. Its an educational experience overall and easily navigated.

Very epic place good to learn about

Amazing history of Settlement houses and Social Work

As a child, I was forced to endure the soul-destroying torment that is the Hull House. My one-star review is meant to convey 15 years of built-up disdain for every aspect of this site. Unfortunately, writing a review does not come close to making up for the immeasurable suffering I experienced here.

We came here for part of the last day of a speaking tour which took place on Monday. Will definitely be back.

This locations has a variety of art that is new and exciting to see! When you have family or nothing to do on a weekend this is a great place to visit. I remember my last time was a great expereience

If youre an MSW, you know what this place means to social work. This is a must stop for anyone who has ever worked for a charity or non-profit social service provider.

Good museum for a lazy day and is free entry for UIC students

Jane Addams is a great high school that is fair and equal and tends to the needs of every student.

A great look at the life and legacy of Jane Addams, one of the most important and influential women in American history. Its a shame the Hull Home is the only building of the settlement remaining.

It is was very informative and learning experience to visit.

A valuable historical, educational experience!

So great!
