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.
