The National Hellenic Museum interprets the American experience through the history of Greek immigrants and the contributions of Greek Americans to American culture and history. It’s a national repository of everything that relates to Greek immigration, and then to the life and history of the communities and its members and what they have contributed to America. It also celebrates Greek history and culture and the impact of the Hellenic heritage on the world.
The museum’s mission statement is “Connecting generations through Greek history, culture and art”. It’s a simple, 40,000 square foot white monolith at the corner of Adams and Halsted.
