Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Very interesting look back at the gilded age. The house was restored and is in excellent condition. When we visited, they had a temporary art deco exhibit on the upper floors that was quite good. I would've enjoyed the house without the exhibit, but the exhibit was the highlight for me.

Such a fabulous museum. I have toured house museums all over the US and this is one of the finest as it is exquisitely restored. The docent was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and so patient with our questions. I highly recommend this museum for a glimpse of the Gilded Age.

A beautiful home that has been beautifully restored. The home is a piece of art!
Guided tour was worth the money! I would not have understood and appreciated the home and articles in the home beyond their beauty if not for the tour guide explaining the history behind the home and furnishings.
The black and white historical photos in each room depicting what it looked like in its day were so helpful bridging the gap between today and yester-years.
A treasure to step back in time to the gilded age.

I was floored by this museum (and I see a lot of museums and historical homes). This is probably one of the best, if not the best, historical homes I've seen. I spent over two hours here and took the tour, and still saw something new in each room every time I passed through.
This home is an ornate example of the height of the gilded age. When I checked in, the docent asked me not to "pet" the walls. I thought that was an interesting word to use. After touring each room multiple times, it makes sense.
Each room's walls are adorned in various textures and textiles. They juxtapose--cloth, tiles, ornate carved wood, and more. It's an intricate, sensuous, decadent salmagundi!
Multiple fireplaces, a skylight, sculptures, carvings cherubs, sculptures, vases, a smorgasbord of rare Tiffany glass, lamps, and chandeliers.
The first floor is mainly set up as the original home. The second and third floor also have elements of the original home, though they are mostly focused on special exhibits and the gift shop. When I visited, the focus was on art nouveau architect, Hector Guimard. I learned a lot, found it interesting, and found his work beautiful and intriguing.
You can choose to peruse the museum on your own, for 20 dollars, but the tour is worthwhile at 25 dollars. I arrived early and spent over an hour wandering independently, then took the tour--and as I mentioned, I was still seeing new things every pass through a room. It was also helpful that I had taken the majority of my photos before the tour, so I could really focus.
I'm against hoarding wealth, but I did thoroughly enjoy this trek through the gilded age.

Richard H Driehaus museum is located in the River North area of Chicago. We took the number 3 bus up South Michigan Avenue to get there from the South Loop.
The building was constructed in the late 19th century and was the home of the wealthy Nickerson family in the Gilded Age.
There were many beautiful fixtures and fittings on display and some wonderful furniture. Also on show on the ground floor were some nice paintings but unfortunately no information was visible as to who the artists were.
At the time of our visit, there was an exhibition of the work of French designer and architect Hector Guimard, famous for Art Nouveau, particularly on the Paris metro.
I enjoyed his work which was reminiscent of that of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Admission fee was $20 per person.

I got an excellent guided tour of a restored Gilded Age mansion at the Richard Driehaus Museum. The first floor contains restored rooms that showed how the wealthy Nickerson and other families lived at that time, with an eye for displaying the latest fashions in architecture & decorative arts.
The upper two floors were once the family & guest bedrooms; these are now used for temporary exhibits. I got to see the Hector Guimard exhibition of this now-famous French Art Nouveau architect who's best know for his design of the Paris Metro stations. It was interesting to see how Guimard's Art Nouveau ideas influenced the Nickerson mansion's rooms.

Are there places to sit throughout the museum? One of my party needs to take frequent breaks from walking/standing.

We will be there next week and I just saw that the second floor is closed. Should we wait till another time to visit the museum? I’m not sure how many stories the house is so I don’t want to be disappointed by missing out on an entire floor.

Would someone who knows nothing about architecture learn a lot from this museum? Or is it mostly an example of good architecture that could be appreciated by architecture enthusiasts?

It’s somewhat about architecture but mostly is a great example of a “gilded age home” where everything was opulent. On the main floor, each room is furnished as it would have been when the house was in its original glory. There are pieces of artwork, displays of luxury, and just some really WOW stuff, like the dome in the art room. So it’s a nice blend of architectural elements with non-architectural elements. It’s more like a visual walk-through than a dive into architecture, though. I left feeling “wow, that house was amazing and I’m so glad I paid to take the tour”, rather than “wow, I know a ton more about architecture now”. (I know nothing about architecture.) The second and third floors have rotating displays. Hope this helps!

The teas were offered as a special feature of the Dressing Downton exhibition. They are no longer available.

Hi! I will be coming there with a group of seniors. Is there a place for a 12 passenger bus to park?

You should be able to find public parking nearby. Probably not on the street, but in a parking structure. There are websites that will show you available parking, that you can search for on the internet. Just use keywords such as "parking" and the zip code of the museum in your search engine, and many sites that show available parking will pop up.
