Home to the museum and library of the Chicago Historical Society, the Chicago History Museum in Lincoln Park is also a popular location for celebrations and events. This summer, Cinema/Chicago hosted part of our annual free summer screenings program at the museum and are thrilled to return with select Festival screenings.
