illinois state museum lockport gallery

Here is a delightful small museum space with professionally curated rotating shows and free admission. How are people not all over this?We were the only people there. They need a press agent to toot their own horn!

Such a lovely and contemplative place. They always have something interesting on display. A great place to visit.

We toured the art exhibition displaying civil war era quilts and demonstrating the tensions between North and South. It was extraordinarily well done.

This is a state-run museum in a beautiful limestone building in Lockport, right on the I&M canal. The curator does a fine job of putting the showings together, highlighting a variety of artists and genres. It is free, but you can leave a donation if you like. Good diversity in the art displayed. Worth a drive to historic Lockport.

As a delightful center of regional history the museum provides a way to grasp an economic development and expansion in the mid-west. It also has nice part in the local art festival every year.

Very cool place to go to especially in the cooler climates. A lot of history and easy to get to. Recommended for families also.

Check out the exhibits in this beautifully restored building in downtown Lockport. Walk to dinner at Tallgrass.

The Illinois Art Museum is 2 blocks away and is excellent, top notch! VERY well informed and friendly staff! I go here often, since I live close by!
