okay, so i live in Chicago, and let me tell you NO ONE CARES THAT THIS IS AN ART PLACE! it really is one of the most popular places in my city. also, if anyone actually goes, please look at the lions outside! they are so awesome and the total trademark of the art institute
I love history, from the Renaissance to the Tang Dynasty to Greco-roman art and beyond! Had a little of everything! Not boring for the kids!
What a beautiful place! Loved everything about it....top notch!
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.
Still fresh and exciting after all these years....loved my visit. New, innovative, beautiful exhibits highlighted the visit. I will go back. Food wasn't bad either.
I think this place is feally ok I really liked it a lot I really would miss this place you will have a lot of fun visting derffernt place
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.
The Chicago Art museum has art from every walk of life. There are visiting exibits that will leave a lasting impression and a life long memorie. This is not a ten minute tour, it is an all day experience for the mind and soal.
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.
