Must See in Chicago
The Art Institute is a definite stop in Chicago. The museum has a respectable collection, and the new Modern Wing is beautiful.
What a Wonderful Museum!
When I was a kid, my aunt used to take me to the Art Institute to expose me to some culture. It was above my head then, but now that I am an adult I am very grateful for that early influence. This is a beautiful museum with an impressive array of spectacular artwork. The Art Institute is really a world-class museum!
Great Art Gallery
When visiting the Windy City be sure and stop by the Art Institute to see the latest exhibits. Always interesting.
