14 Best Museums in Chicago | Condé Nast Traveler

"In the heart of tourist traffic on Michigan Avenue, the intimate American Writers Museum celebrates the power of the written word and the many voices that shape it. Interactive experiences, regular (and highly recommended) visits from writers, and exhibits like Tools of the Trade, featuring more than a dozen typewriters used by iconic writers such as Orson Welles, Hugh Hefner, Gwendolyn Brooks, Ernest Hemingway, Mae West, and Truman Capote keep things feeling fresh. The layout is easy to navigate, almost relaxing, and the number of attractions within the space are manageable, meaning you’ll be able to see everything in under two hours. So don’t rush. You may remember just how much fun reading is ." - Elaine Glusac
