Lovely lovely place, so many great works to see. I loved the modern wing with its avant garde architecture and sculpture garden. But the top part for me was the imporessionist paintings. Wow.

There's so much more to see here than you can manage in a day, so i'd advise either going to the original wing, or the modern wing. I went to the modern wing, an amazing building, a fabulous sculpture terrace and a great collection of modern works. Nearby Milennium Park beckons for some natural relaxation after the artistic contemplation.

National Museum of Mexican Art

posted by gjowers on 2 November 2010 at 09:47

This is the largest museum of Mexican or latino culture anywhere in the US - and I think might be the only officially recognised one... It sits on Harrison Park in an almost entirely latino part of town. There are apparently 6,000 artefacts and objects on display here including paintings, photography, textiles and some really great folk art. Its well worth a look in

Chagall's four seasons

posted by gstainforth on 2 November 2010 at 09:39

The four seasons mosaic wall by Marc Chagall is an extraordinary work. Not just becasuse of its size - though at 70 ft long and 14ft high, it is really imposing - but also for its vivid colours and fantastical characters, all of which are impressivly achieved in the medium of mosaic!
