The Richard H. Driehaus Museum
To share his passion for how buildings and objects are made, Richard Driehaus established a museum housed in a Gilded Age mansion. The Museum is a premier example of historic preservation, offering visitors an experience of how the prevailing design philosophies of the period were interpreted by artists, architects and designers during the closing decades of the 19th century in Chicago.
WebsiteThe Driehaus Museum website aids visitors seeking information about a docent-guided tour or those who are armchair travelers. Aligning with the Museum’s vision to promote preservation, a section of the site is devoted to articles and images documenting the restoration process, how it was done and by whom. A flash-based tour pairs history with preservation and a slideshow gives historic context.
