An incredible experience! We took the guided, highlights tour with Erick and we are so happy we did (as opposed to self guided). All the staff were friendly and enthusiastic, but our guide was exceptional. He was knowledgeable and excited to answer the group’s questions. The house has such an interesting history and some honestly jaw-dropping pieces inside. Tour is about an hour. Discounts available to students.

Questions & Answers

The 2nd floor galleries will be closed during my planned visit, what things will I miss out on?

Lindsay Heller | Dec 8, 2019

Most of the upstairs is unfurnished but there's some beautiful details in the rooms like tiles, paneling, and stained glass. The downstairs rooms are the show stoppers, though, so it's definitely still worth visiting.

Is the museum open in the first week of January and does it have a full exhibition programme at that time?

Helga Arlington | Dec 7, 2019

Liz Tillmanns | Dec 8, 2018

The cost of general admission for seniors is $15 and for educators, it is $10. (Regular adult admission is $20.)

I dont remember. If you go to one of the other museums, you can go for free. I purchased a $25 annual membershio to Dusable and it includes a ROAM card with free addimisson to the other Museums that includes the Diehause.
