Host your next event at the historic Chicago Cultural Center.
The stunning landmark offers a variety of options for large and small gatherings - from galas, banquets
and cocktail receptions to corporate events, conferences and meetings. It is home to two magnificent
stained-glass domes, one of which is the world’s largest Tiffany dome. There are also many unique
event spaces including galleries, halls and a theater. The venue’s close proximity to hotels, shopping,
transportation and convention centers makes it the ideal special events destination. And the grace
of this historic building is enhanced by breathtaking views of Millennium Park, located just across the
street.
Completed in 1897 as Chicago’s first central public library, the Chicago Cultural Center was designed
and built by the country’s top architects and craftsmen. They used the most sumptuous materials, such
as rare imported marble, polished brass, fine hardwoods, mother-of-pearl and colored mosaics to
create an architectural showplace.
The Chicago Cultural Center, otherwise known as “The People’s Palace,” is managed by the Chicago
Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, and rental fees help to support its free public
programming.
