American Writers Museum: Entry Ticket
About this experience
From typewriters to touchscreens (and everything in between), the American Writers Museum in Chicago celebrates the power of the written word.
As the first museum in the country to showcase only American authors and their impact on American culture, the American Writiers Museum showcases the literary fabric of the US with immersive and interactive displays.
From every state and every genre, visitors can trace the evolution of American writing – from Frederick Douglass and Mark Twain to Ray Bradbury and Hisaye Yamamoto – in both in-person and viritual exhibits.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
