About this venue
The International Museum of Surgical Science is a distinctive venue for events, offering guests an elegant setting, fascinating exhibits, and breathtaking views of Lake Michigan just minutes from downtown Chicago.

With turn-of-the-century architecture in an idyllic setting, the International Museum of Surgical Science offers an elegant and totally unique space for your special day. The Museum has many unique features, including but not limited to Italian marble floors and fireplaces, decorative cut stone and floor-to-ceiling windows with sprawling views of the Lake. The beautiful walnut walls, decorated with historic murals and statues, compliment event decor for an engaging and intimate special event. This historic mansion truly embodies the Gold Coast splendor of the early 20th century and will provide for an unforgettable occasion.
