Organized by MAS Context and the Chicago Architecture Biennial, this tour of the National Public Housing Museum is presented in conjunction with the CAB Studio exhibition Boliglaboratorium: A Danish Housing Lab.

Join Lisa Yun Lee, Executive Director and Chief Curator, and Peter Landon, founder and principal of LBBA, as they provide insights into the work of the recently opened National Public Housing Museum and its permanent home.


Boliglaboratorium: A Danish Housing Lab features six groundbreaking Danish architectural projects that explore how housing can respond to the current climate crisis, future urban challenges, shifting family patterns and new ways of living. The exhibition in Chicago is organized by the Chicago Architecture Biennial and MAS Context and on view at the CAB Studio inside the Chicago Cultural Center (78 East Washington Street. Chicago, IL 60602) through August 31, 2025.
