The Omega Museum is a cultural center and museum located in Chicago, Illinois, that provides a repository for the community to collect, preserve, educate, and display significant contributions of work by fraternities and sororities.

The Omega Museum is committed to preserving the history and achievements of African American Greek organizations and their members and promoting education, community outreach, and cultural awareness.
The Omega Museum was founded in 2007 by a group of eight members of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.’s Rho Gamma Gamma Chapter in Chicago, Illinois. These men envisioned a facility that would provide underserved youth with the support and resources they need to succeed, while also showcasing the achievements of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity members and other prominent African Americans.
One of the museum’s key objectives is to develop various outreach programs to the immediate community. These programs are designed to help young people prepare for successful careers and make informed decisions about their futures. Additionally, the museum seeks to establish an endowment fund to support the future expansion of the Omega Museum concept.
