Jane Addams Hull-House Museum
The Jane Addams Hull-House Museum is part of the College of Architecture and the Arts at UIC and serves as a dynamic memorial to Jane Addams, the work of her associates, and the neighborhood they served. The Museum and its programs make connections between the work of Hull-House residents and important contemporary social issues. Addams and the residents of Hull-House created opportunities for civic discourse and dialogue, advocated for public health, fair labor practices, full citizenship rights for immigrants, public education, recreational and public space, public arts, and free speech.
