Details

A visit to the Climate Action Museum, the world's 8th climate-focused museum, is a memorable and life-altering “climate rite of passage” for all Chicagoans.

Through thought-provoking exhibits and community programs, the museum empowers and inspires individuals and organizations to adopt sustainable practices and advocate for meaningful environmental policies.
