IAHM promotes understanding and engages with communities to celebrate the heritage, document the history, and showcase the contributions of Indian Americans. Museum programs are held in Chicago’s Indo-American Center at 6328 N. California Avenue, in the Indian-Pakistani business district along Devon Avenue. Visitors and volunteers engage in lively, interactive sessions and use the “living museum” of the ethnic market in an exploration of immigrant life.
The Museum is open by appointment between 10am and 5pm Monday, and Wednesday-Saturday. To make an appointment or request information on programs, email info@iahmuseum.org.
