Directions
The ISAC Museum is located at 1155 East 58th Street, on the University of Chicago campus in Hyde Park.
The Museum stands at the southeast corner of 58th Street and University Avenue, at the eastern edge of the main quadrangles and one block north of the Midway Plaisance. Because 58th Street between University and Woodlawn Avenues is a pedestrian walkway, drivers should approach on University Avenue, where passengers may be dropped off beside the Museum. Bike racks are in front of the building. Please use the entrance on 58th Street. For ramp access and accessible drop-off, see Accessibility.
For campus parking rates, garage locations, and street parking, see the University of Chicago's Driving and Parking page.
