About

Located in the heart of Chicago’s Greektown, the National Hellenic Museum boasts a minimalist design and distinctive setting for all your special events. Whether it is an elegant dinner for 200 or a board meeting for 20, our modern and versatile space is perfect for any occasion.

The building is constructed with natural limestone and glass, materials that represent the artistic and technological traditions Greeks have impacted from the Classical Age to the modern day. Containing design elements associated with Aristotle such as earth, wind and fire; although water is not physically present, light and glassy surfaces are incorporated to represent the importance of water. The symbolic heart of our building is a dramatic, sky-lit east-to-west-staircase that represents the immigrant experience, cultural ties to Greece and the limitless potential – the resilience – of Greek Americans in the United States.

Located in the heart of Chicago’s Greektown, the National Hellenic Museum boasts a contemporary design and a distinctive setting for all your special events.
