The Art Institute of Chicago

posted by awesme on 5 June 2009 at 03:29

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.
