Fodor's Review:

Chicago has the largest Polish population of any city outside Warsaw, and this museum in Ukrainian Village, just south of Wicker Park, celebrates that fact. Take a trip to the old country by strolling through exhibits of folk costumes, memorabilia from Pope John Paul II, Hussar armor, American Revolutionary War heroes Tadeusz Kosciuszko and Casimir Pulaski, pianist and composer Ignacy Paderewski, and an 8-foot-long sleigh in the shape of a dolphin that's carved from a single log. It's also a good place to catch up on your reading; the library has 60,000 volumes.

  • Cost: $5
  • Open: Fri.-Wed. 11-4
