Wander in Northwesterners or not
My daughter was in class and her friends invited me to the block. I took art our by a spirited theatre major who knows her art history. I think this place holds its own, and whether you're on campus for your child or just visiting Evanston, stroll in and step into a magical and completely cool museum.

great free museum
Visited today and found the Charlotte Moorman exhibit fascinating - especially the part with her "stuff" as she told her family to never throw anything away. Will caution the exhibit is a bit of sensory overload, but I think that's the way she would have liked it! Overall nice visit, would return again for new exhibits!
