What to expect
The Chicago Architecture Center (CAC) was founded in 1966 as the Chicago Architecture Foundation to save the historic Glessner House. Since then, the CAC has grown to become one of the largest cultural organizations in Chicago.
Visit the CAC to view the 4,250-building scale model of Chicago, shop in the award-winning store or participate in a fun family event in our ArcelorMittal Design Studio. In the Skyscraper Gallery, you can explore supersized scale models of famous skyscrapers, including Jeddah Tower, soon-to-be the tallest building in the world! On the Chicago Model, you can view more than 4,200 buildings in one spectacular room at the cinematic and interactive Chicago City Model Experience. Finally at the Chicago Gallery you can learn how Chicago became the "city of architecture," with a look at its fascinating neighborhoods, housing styles and famous architects.
