DuSable Museum of African American History Overview
Located in the historic Hyde Park area of Chicago, the Dusable Museum of African American History not only unites art, history, and culture under one roof, but also offers a beautiful backdrop for weddings. Originally founded in the 1960’s, this venue boasts numerous spaces that are brimming with luxurious detail and history. Say your “I do’s” in the Illinois Black Legislator’s Auditorium, a magnificent theater-like space complete with designer lighting. Host a cocktail style reception or chic pre-function hour in one of the museum’s many galleries, each showcasing clean architecture, as well as significant artworks and artifacts of African American history. Utilize on of the museum auditoriums, featuring gallery-style lighting and expansive floorplans, for a more tradition sit-down dinner reception.
