Very informative and great smaller museum for little ones!! We spent about an hour there so the time was perfect by the time they were done we had seen everything. Super kind and knowledgeable staff!!

I like it proposed in such a honor that would conclude the closing out of a new era

We went on a special event day that included free admission. Last time I was here was opening day. Didn't see much change since my last visit other than an art exhibit that was going on. I used to go more frequently when it was in Wauconda. I preferred it at that location, and although it is in a very much larger building, I think I spent more time looking at things than in this new location. I would like to see more vintage photos and exhibits. It is a good to visit, if you haven't already. I see they have special events for families which is a good thing.

Dunn museum hosted a free signing by Bill Sienkewicz. It was well attended and the Dunn staff organized the event very well. The Sienkewicz exhibit was also excellent. I hope Dunn hosts more similar events in the future.

All depends on how much you read each exhibit. We are usually there an hour with small children. It is all on one lower level and handicapped accessible as mentioned.

There is an entire display about her when you first walk into the museum. I'd imagine you can check out their website to learn about her.
