About the Museum: The Richard H. Driehaus Museum inspires the global community through transformative experiences in art, architecture, and design with ongoing conversations of the Gilded Age. Its permanent collection of period decorative arts is presented in an immersive experience within the restored 1883 Nickerson Mansion, once known as Chicago’s “Marble Palace” located just steps from the Magnificent Mile. Richard H. Driehaus (1942-2021), the Museum’s founder and namesake, was a Chicago entrepreneur and preservationist with a long history of supporting projects in the arts and culture. A vocal advocate for the application of humanistic values in the built environment, Driehaus nurtured his passion for architecture by funding initiatives in design excellence and historic preservation.
