Smith Museum of Stained Glass

Chicago, Illinois, United States

The Smith Museum of Stained Glass is located inside Navy Pier. Whether or not you're "interested" in stained glass, if you find yourself nearby, it is worth walking through. The museum is located inside the building at Navy Pier, at the far end (east of downtown). The pieces themselves are quite impressive to look at. A few of them are pictured here to give you an idea of what to expect if you visit the Smith Museum of Stained Glass. The entire collection consists of approximately 150 windows, displayed down one main hallway with a couple of smaller rooms off to the sides.

There are no tours of any kind available - you can just walk through the stained glass museum at your own pace. For casual observers, 20 minutes is probably sufficient. If you wanted to read information about each piece, an hour may be more appropriate.
