The museum will also have a special holiday shop through Wednesday. The museum opens “Maker and Muse: Women and Early Twentieth Century Art Jewelry” in February, but you can find stellar examples of baubles from Chicago’s gone-but-influential Kalo Shop, founded by Clara Barck Welles, on sale now. Carefully curated vintage jewelry serves as the highlight of the small shop that occupies one of the former guest bedrooms in the Gilded Age Nickerson mansion, which itself serves as the backdrop for Driehaus’ breathtaking collection of decorative arts. You would probably expect to find turquoise at the National Museum of Mexican Art - but the Driehaus Museum offers a unique silver-and-turquoise bracelet in a design by Arts and Crafts pioneer William Morris ($680).

If you want something more traditionally Christmas, there are colorful, handcrafted tin Nativity sets ($15). You can buy all manner of Dia de Los Muertos items in the museum’s shop (officially called Tienda Tzintzuntzan, or “Place of the Hummingbird”), from calaveras (representations of skulls) to skeleton figurines of all sizes and price ranges.
