Getting to the Museum
We encourage our visitors to use public transport to visit the museum.
BUS: NVAM is located near several CTA bus stops including the #80 Irving Park bus, the #54 Cicero bus, and the #56 Milwaukee bus. The museum is less than one block down, on the right.
TRAIN: NVAM is also located about one mile east from the Irving Park Blue Line “L” stop. If you chose to drive, while we do not have a parking lot, many visitors find street parking close to the museum. We remind visitors to adhere to parking rules and regulations.

We believe that art should be accessible to all. While we do not charge admission, we do accept donations to the museum. We appreciate your generosity.
