Located in Chicago’s hottest new residential neighborhood, the Museum is centrally located five blocks north of McCormick Convention Center, just south of the Loop (4 blocks south of Roosevelt Road— across the tracks from Chicago’s Museum Campus) and serves as the gateway to the Prairie Avenue Historic District—Chicago’s original "Gold Coast."

In addition to the Museum Store, NVVAM also has a small café, Café Society. It can accommodate 20 or 30 for lunch. If you plan to have a lunch in the café as part of a group tour please inform the staff during your initial phone call and we will try and make arrangements for your students.
