Meetings generally run from 5:30 or 6:00 until 8:30 or so. CMEG has no membership dues, but we ask for a donation at each meeting, mostly to help offset the cost of refreshments.
Programs are subject to change; as always, you should receive an announcement a couple of weeks before each event.

Multi-Lingual Communication in Today's Exhibits

Offering the museum experience in languages other than English expresses culture, enhances communication, and welcomes diverse visitors. The whys and hows of doing it are complex and challenging. (How do you handle all that text, for instance, and whose language do you choose in the first place?)

For our spring program, Chicago History Museum staff will share their insights into the issues and the multi-faceted responses they've developed in recent years. Plus a key researcher will explore the emerging body of knowledge-what works and what's still to be learned.
