We were told to stop here by the gift shop staff of another museum. Absolutely delighted by the recommendation. So much stained glass and beautiful tile, wood and fixtures. Definitely spend an hour or 2 wandering around!

We went on a Wednesday after 4:00 p.m., so we were able to take advantage of free admission. This free admission event drew tons of people, but it was not overcrowded. Small groups of people moved from room to room collaborating on one another about the styles of furniture, decorations and the artwork and Tiffany items. The museum and its contents are stunning, and I recommend that you take some time to see it. You might miss it as you stroll on by, but it's worth seeking out and taking perhaps 60 to 90 minutes to stroll through and gain an appreciation for what one family brought together to the art world.
The main attraction of the museum is in a house was built over a 4-year period from 1879-1883 with no cost spared for top quality. It has been restored to its original grandeur. The first floor looks right out of 1890. There are 3 floors. The guided tour takes an hour and you get good stories. You can tour on your own as well as your own pace. They have an app you can download for details.
The Richard H. Driehaus Museum is a breathtaking Gilded Age masterpiece that stands as a testament to architectural preservation in Chicago. Often referred to as the "Marble Palace," the building itself is in beautiful condition, thanks to a meticulous restoration that highlights an incredible attention to detail, from the 17 types of exotic marble to the intricately carved woodwork and stained glass. While the permanent collection of Tiffany lamps is world-class, the museum truly shines during the winter months. The holiday decorations are a seasonal highlight, transforming the mansion into a Victorian winter wonderland with lush garlands and festive period displays that feel like stepping back in time. Beyond the Gilded Age interiors, the rotating exhibits—such as the current Tiffany Lamps: Beyond the Shade and the contemporary sculptures of Twin Flame, Double Ruin—ensure there is always something new and thought-provoking to discover. It is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates history, art, and the finer details of design.
