Renaissance Society, Contemporary art museum at University of Chicago, United States.
The Renaissance Society occupies the fourth floor of Cobb Hall, presenting four major exhibitions annually alongside concerts, performances, screenings, and lectures.
Founded in 1915 following the Armory Show of 1913, the Renaissance Society initially focused on traditional art before shifting toward modern exhibitions in 1927.
The institution collaborates with international artists to commission and produce new works, contributing to Chicago's contemporary art development.
The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM and weekends from noon to 5 PM, offering free admission to all exhibitions.
Operating as a non-collecting museum since 1974, the Renaissance Society maintains independence while physically residing on the University of Chicago campus.
