National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum

	Map		Reviews

In 1981, a few Vietnam combat veterans created an artistic and historical collection that would become a timeless, humanistic statement of war on behalf of all veterans for future generations.

The exhibit toured the United States and later found a permanent home with the help of Mayor Richard Daley, at 1801 S. Indiana. Today, the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum (NVVAM) is still located in Chicago's South Loop and houses over 500 works of art, including paintings, photography, sculpture, poetry and music. All the works in the Museum's permanent collection were created and comprised by 125 artists, who chronicled their individual experiences from the Vietnam War.

The artwork presented at the Museum provides a unique viewpoint on war for all visitors. The collection is born from the sheer sentiment of those who personally experienced the immediate suffering and realities of war. It's clear the artists have experienced the creative and spontaneous insight, and intuition, that comes from witnessing the magnitude of human combat first-hand.
