    10 Years Too Long...by Yahoo | 2008-07-02 03:39:32 |

    The last time I visited the Art Institute of Chicago was in 5th grade. I went with my Elementary School from Northwest Indiana. I am now twenty years old and returned to the museum for the first time a few days ago. All I can say is Van Gogh's self portrait is mesmerizing. There is so much aesthetic value in many of the museum's portraits. It's more unbelievable than I can remember. It's free in February so take advantage if you can make a visit. Leaving for school in Charleston I'll truly miss it.

    Every art piece in this institute is just wonderful. You see from very famous pantings to less known paintings. I attended the Art Institute last year but it was a great experience.

    Great displays even if you're not an Art Buff. Impressionist Art on display is second only to the Louvre. Currently building an addition that connects to Millenium Park.

    so many different types, styles, and examples of great art. Some pieces I didn't understand, however, they still interested me, and made me wonder.
