The museum says a typical first visit runs about two hours, though most visitors find two to three hours gives them room to see the major exhibits without feeling rushed.

"Chicago: Crossroads of America" alone can take close to an hour to explore properly. Leave additional time for "Facing Freedom," the Abraham Lincoln alcoves, and "Sensing Chicago," the hands-on exhibit built for kids.

If you're planning to dig into the Abakanowicz Research Center's archives, budget extra time separately, since its hours run on a different schedule than the main galleries.

A stop at the café or the museum store will add to your visit too. If you want to take things at a relaxed pace, plan for a half day.
