American Medina Exhibit Opens at Chicago History Museum


  • Chicago History Musuem (map)

This exhibition draws from more than 100 interviews conducted with Muslim Chicagoans sharing their stories of faith, identity, and personal journeys. Dozens of objects from local individuals and organizations, such as garments, artwork, and photographs, as well as videos and interactive experiences expand on how and why Chicago is known as the American Medina. All photographs were taken by Sadaf Syed.
