This is an old cathedral that is full of history and art. It is an amazing work of architecture and you could spend days here. Take a tour or get a guide book or you will really be missing out.

The Art Institute is one of the world's premier art museums. It holds and exhibits extensive collections from various periods, regions and masters. there are specialized collections by media as well. The extensive galleries are distinctive, and the brand new Modern Wing (open May, 2009) exemplifies the whole institute's use of materials, light, and accessibility. The best thing to do is visit the web site and browse the collections for specific things you will want to see when you visit, as well as special events or exhibits during your time in Chicago. My own favorites include the restored Chicago Stock Exchange in the architecture and design exhibits (which also features the american architect Frank lloyd Wright), and the French Impressionists' works. Georges Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte is a must see -- and you cannot miss it since it measures over 81 by 120 inches! I have visited over american thanksgiving, when I particularly enjoyed exhibits celebrating Christmas.

Museo Salzillo Museum is a museum that has been dedicated to a famous sculptor of the 18th century, Francisco Salzillo. Most of his sculptures are neatly preserved and exhibited for the public to view. As a fanatic of Art, I enjoyed every minute of my visit to the museum and for lovers of art, this is a must visit.

When I was in Glasgow a few years ago, I took the time to visit the Kelvingrove Gallery, and I am really glad that I did, as it was a really enjoyable way to spend a few hours. They have a truly amazing collection of European artists, although it concentrates on British artists.
