Excellent small museum which focuses on outsider art and is the only one that does across the US. Visit and learn about Henry Darger's past and artwork and visit the room that he lived in for years. Certainly a great space amd a great find in the city.

A one-of-a-kind museum with short-term and permanent collections of outsider art. I loved viewing the dioramas by Marvin Tate, especially while listening to the associated music collaborations he did. The Henry Darger exhibit is not to be missed.

This art center is nice, it's small but has interesting finds. You'll spend probably 20-30 min here, depending on how interested you are in the art on exhibit.

It’s a small space for a small price but it has a wonderful collection and the exhibits we saw were displayed well. I am a huge fan of folk and outsider art so I was happy to find a gallery that catered to that specific genre.

Intuit changes the artwork there every so often so you can visit to see new works presumably every month or two. They do have restrooms along with a gift shop (some things are subject to be overpriced; Intuit shirts are 20). The second floor is for staff so don't try to go upstairs; feel free to explore the first floor as you want. Their opening and closing times are reasonable, and they were able to replicate an entire room from the mid/late 1900s which you can find in the back in which you can find out about the background from reading the displayed plaques. They show a good variety of different forms of visual artwork from 2D to 3D with different sculptures, art styles, designs, and more. Nice place to visit in your free time and could potentially somewhat be a romantic place depending on the couple's taste.

A hidden gem to be sure. The Henry Darger room and collection of work is absolutely the highlight of the museum. His life and his art are fascinating and should be seen by all. I was also surprised to see some of the works of Chicago icon Wesley Willis. The last star is simply pending the proposed redesign of the building, which looks to be spectacular. Very excited to be a member to this great museum.
