SKOKIE: Illinois Holocaust Museum to Reopen November 11 After Renovations

The Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie will reopen Wednesday, November 11, after renovations that added new spaces for visitors and public programs.

The museum says the work includes a new Lillian & Larry Goodman Auditorium and Gallery, an expanded Shapiro Family Foundation Welcome Center and a reflection gallery. The core Karkomi Holocaust Exhibition has also received new educational content about antisemitism and the experiences of people targeted by the Nazis.

The Skokie museum will be open from 10 AM to 5 PM every day except Tuesday, when it is closed to the public. The downtown Experience360 satellite location will remain open through December 31, with both locations operating together from November 11 through the end of the year.

General admission remains $18 for adults, $12 for seniors, $8 for students through age 22 with valid ID and $6 for children ages 5-11. Children under 5 enter free. Virtual-reality and holography experiences each require an additional $5 ticket, according to the museum.
