Chicago Architecture Center

The Chicago Architecture Center (CAC) was founded in 1966 to save the historic Glessner House. Since then, it has become one of the largest cultural organizations in Chicago. Every year, it offers thousands of visitors an opportunity to learn more about Chicago's groundbreaking architecture and its impact on the world. The Center also provides access and introductions to an abundance of architectural and engineering treasures around the city by offering year-round programs, tours, exhibits, and events for the whole family. Their mission is to encourage these visitors to fully discover and appreciate the urban design that surrounds them.
