About Graveface Chicago

Graveface Chicago is a museum. Located in Bucktown, it presents exhibits focused on dark history, true crime, and underrepresented parts of human experience. The museum describes itself as docent-forward, with guides supporting visitors through displays of original, one-of-a-kind artifacts and taxidermy. Exhibits change frequently, and photography is welcome except in the GG Allin exhibit. Some content covers mature topics, including true crime and imagery that may disturb children; the GG Allin exhibit is strictly for visitors age 18 and older. The Ed Gein exhibit requires staff guidance. Graveface Chicago welcomes visits Monday through Thursday from 12-5 and Friday through Sunday from 12-7 at 1829 N. Milwaukee Avenue.
