Great museum, learned a lot about my mothers native land and even saw a small section on her hometown with pictures and stories. What a wonderful and interesting find!

This is a very unique Museum. Im not off Polish decent, but I do love history. I wouldve given this five stars, but the musuem completely broach the subject of the Poles that died during the Holocaust. Six million, is a bit too much to not include it

The history and the background of how this museum came about is very interesting and amazing! I left the museum feeling like I have gained so much knowledge and awareness of Poland and its history/“culture more than ever before!Our guide Beatrix is an awesome person. Her passion and knowledge about this topic are very inspiring to me. If you visit Chicago and are interested in learning about Polish/European history and WWII, you need to visit this place!!!

One of the oldest and biggest ethnic Museums in Chicagoland. You find here a big collection of pictures costumes ,artwork and different artifacts -mostly brought by emigrant from Poland.

Very beautiful, im glad there are ethnic museums. This makes me proud to be 100% Polish

PMA is a must place to visit for everybody, not only with polish roots. Always something interesting on display and always you can learn something new. Great people are coming there and you can meet with them, listen to them and talk to them. People who are working in the Polish Museum and volunteers are friendly, always with smile, and they have huge amount of knowledge. I hope PMA will stay on the Chicagos map for next hundreds of years! and btw they are located in very good spot!

An absolutely beautiful and informative curation of the art and history of Poland. Truly, this museum is a wonderful place to spend a couple of hours in. The employers are all very well informed, kind, and passionate about the history that theyre sharing with you. A must see while youre in Chicago.

Beautiful place with a great art collection. No matter if you have some Polish heritage not i would recommend to visit this historic place.

The museum is full of history. The art works are superb. The largest stain glass window in North America is incredible in the story it tells. Take the guided tour. We had Beatrice and she was superb in getting you involved with the tour. Did you know that Polish generals were responsible for developing and training the calvary in the USA per invitation from President Washington? You dont have to be Polish to enjoy this place. Free parking too.

The staff of the museum are wonderful people. There was a lady who met us right off of the elevator in the main hall who was very sweet and knowledgeable about the artifacts and Polish history. The exhibits were very well done and the Paderewski exhibit was very good. Overall a good experience.

Interesting place where you can learn about history of Poland and Pols, and connections between people and places could happen throughout history. Friendly, knowledgeable stuff!

Amazing museum, went here at a slower time and the guide was so happy and enthusiastic to help us learn about polish history both in the United States and Poland. She did such an excellent job of engaging and teaching us throughout our experience, and I will gladly recommend this as place to visit for anyone who can make it a part of their time in Chicago.

Wonderful exhibits and staff. Lira music event absolutely delightful. Songs were deeply meaningful and soothing to hear.The event catering meal was delicious.History , stories and religious icons richly presented for all ages and beliefs in the displays.I want to return and see more!

The volunteers and staff are incredibly knowledgeable - ask questions! The special exhibit was very interesting, but the permanent collection covers so much you will have to go back for a second visit! I highly recommend this museum!

Hidden gem! Get the tour from historian Jan Lorys and you will not be disappointed!! Most of the Polish exhibit at the 1939 worlds fair in nyc is here. Great polish history, art, and cultural artifacts.

Got a free, unexpected 2-hr tour from a local volunteer & information on researching my own Polish heritage. Couldnt ask for more, great place to visit!

It is full of beautiful Polish art and history, and those working there know all about all of it. I had a great experience there, and I very much recommend people, (especially those with Polish lineage,) visit this museum.

Lots of History about the Polish. Anyone whos interested must go

Wow, this was much better than I expected from looking at the building on the outside. We had a great and knowledgeable tour guide. Lots of good art to look at. Very convenient location.

Cool cultural spot with surprising artistic treasures.

We went for a school trip it was cool!

Very clean. People here are polite and friendly

Interesting. The guide is well versed on the history of Poland.

I stopped here on a day trip and was so impressed. There was so much to see and the staff was welcoming and informative. I will be back when I can take more time to see all of the exhibits. We also thoroughly enjoyed the gift shop.

Great place with a piece of polish history. Worth visiting at least once.

Our tour guide LUCY was wonderful. The museum has an amazing assortment of historical artifacts. Lucy was extremely knowledgable and gave detailed explanations about every exhibit.I would not have wanted to explore the museum without her. Her personality and proficiency made the tour informationally beneficial and a delightful experience.

This was a great way to spend the afternoon. I was impressed with the place. Basia was my tour guide and she really made the whole experience. Great way to spend a few hours.

Our guide was so knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Come and explore another part of Chicagos history, it was truly fascinating. Great art collection, too.

Most boring place i have ever went to

Very nice museum, you can have some give you a tour for free!

Kind of a neat place. Its a hidden curio with lots of interesting things inside.

Very informative, well maintained. Barbara the tour guide was awesome.

Wonderful place you can learn many things avoit how poland became free its a really interesting llace

Extremely kind people. Great artifacts.

Has a unique collection of art, historical and cultural artifacts. More than a few art pieces are of Art Institute of Chicago quality. In many cases the Polish Museum is the only place worldwide that certain artists work can be viewed. A significant portion of the collection consists the type of Inter World War artwork that was heavily destroyed by World War II bombing in Europe, as well as looting & vandalism.The artwork and historical artifacts however, often suffer from poor antiquated lighting, because of tight budgetary constraints. However recently many display cabinets have received updated lighting. If you havent been recently you, may be pleasantly surprised.Its a hidden gem in Chicago and worthy of your patronage & support!

Excellent,, very helpful people and know what they are talking about,, I recommend to everyone.

Very good place to learn about polish history

Great Chicago polish history
