The Auditorium Theatre, designed by Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler, opened on December 9, 1889 and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975, is now giving 80-90 minutes tours of its historic theater space. These Historic Tours take patrons behind the scenes to view it as few do. The tour includes accounts of how and why the theatre was built; stories of the many artists who performed on its historic stage; and a closer look at the 24-karat gold-leafed ceiling arches, hundreds of intricate stencil patterns restored by Sullivan, stained glass muses at the entrance, and murals by Charles Holloway and Albert Fleury.
