Living Together is more than an exhibit. It is a public learning program designed to foster understanding between people in our increasingly diverse society. Based on the theme "Common Concerns: Different Responses," it focuses on how people of different cultures deal with three common concerns of life: home, image, and community.

Visitors can explore how environment, history, and creativity shape different responses to the same basic concerns. The exhibit opens with a display of 135 pairs of shoes from around the world, including solid silver wedding shoes from India, stilted clogs from Korea, and astronaut boots from Skylab.

Interactive and audiovisual displays are featured throughout the exhibit, including a video tour of five Chicago homes and what goes on inside them; a walk-through salon and barber shop; and a video showing how different men, women, and children work on their images.
