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.
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.
We went to the Driehaus Museum as part of the museum membership swap week. We loved it! It is well maintained. Each room has clear signage to explain the different items or the room's use. All the museum staff were knowledgeable and friendly. We will be going back and bringing friends!
The house was originally the home of a wealthy businessman, but it has now been turned into a beautifully preserved museum that’s absolutely worth visiting. The interior has been kept almost completely intact, and you can really see the amount of care and craftsmanship that went into the home. We found the house stunning, especially the first-floor library and living room, which are beautifully decorated. And don’t miss the dining room: the décor there is incredibly detailed and really reflects the residential style of that era.
