Updated: Nov 29, 2022

Wilbur Wright College has been added to various admissions lists across Chicago’s diverse museums free of charge for students.


Chicago is a city renowned for its museums — now, students at the City Colleges of Chicago can travel to local museums with just two things: a valid student ID, and an open schedule to explore all three museums in the initiative.


The museums involved are The Chicago History Museum, The Art Institute of Chicago and The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.


All three museums offer free admission to all CCC students with a valid and current student identification card.


Along with students, CCC staff and faculty also qualify for free admission to The Chicago History Museum and The Musuem of Contemporary Art Chicago.


For the Art Institute, CCC staff and faculty qualify for free admission, but must request free passes at least two weeks ahead of attendance.


Students are able to get 10% off towards a first-time membership with the Art Institute with a valid student identification card.


The Chicago History Museum is located at 1601 N. Clark St, Chicago, IL 60614.
