We know that many of our incoming and current @uchicago students and affiliates are unable to explore Chicago at the moment. That’s why we are showcasing Chicago cultural icons each week for a relaxing activity to do this weekend. This week, it’s the virtual collections of the National Hellenic Museum : ⠀

“in Chicago’s Greektown neighborhood, [it] is the second oldest U.S. institution dedicated to celebrating the cultural contributions of Greeks and Greek-Americans. Their free digital museum displays the largest Greek/Hellenic collection of its kind in the world, with more than 20,000 artifacts, photos, historic newspapers, and books, plus over 450 recorded oral histories.” ⠀
