This is third time I've been to the Art Institute. The last time I was here, I was able to spend the whole day and take in every nook and cranny. This visit we didn't arrive until 3:45pm and didn't realize that the museum closed at 4:30pm. Not only does it close at 4:30pm, but the museum actually st...

AfterHours at the Art Institute - user review
AfterHours is held the third Thursday of every third month from 5:30 to 8:30pm. Visitors can explore the galleries at their own pace. It is a hip event especially for 20- to 40-something singles. I would recommend it for sure. I went to see the Medici, Michelangelo, and the Art of Late Renaissance F...

Centered right in the middle of downtown, guarded by two huge sculpted lions, this is a treasure of art. One of my favorite women Impressionists, Mary Cassatt, has a wall of her works on these walls. THE BATH, an oil of a mother bathing her daughter shows such maternal instinct, and from a women who...

The Art Institute of Chicago is a must for art enthusiasts and mere spectators alike. It has one of the best collections of European Art, outside of the Louvre of course. There is something for everyone here from Architecture to armor worn by medieval knights. I would suggest that you start on a flo...

One of the great museums in this country, a trip to Chicago is not complete until you visit this fabulous museum. Upon walking past the great big lions that guard the front entrance my first tip is to pull out a dollar and head over to the ticket sales person and say one please. The institute works ...

This museum is WONDERFUL, particularly if you like the Impressionists and/or Post Impressionists. Renoir, Monet, Manet, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Degas and Gauguin are all well represented. Make sure to see Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte-1884. His technique of dots and lines can really be appreciated...

Art Institute of Chicago - user review
This is the best all-around art museum in the city. I have been a member of the Art Institute since 1987. Someone asked me why I would want to look at the same paintings over and over again. I asked him if he liked a song, would he not want to hear it again and perhaps appreciate subtle nuances each...

The Miniature Rooms at the Art Institute - user review
When I was very little my absolute favorite museum was the Art Institute. I was in love with the Miniature Rooms and used to beg my father to take me there every time I visited him and so I decided to share my love with the nieces.

The Art Institute of Chicago - user review
The Art Institute of Chicago is truly one of the world's best collections of art. Spanning ancient through modern art, the massive location on Michigan Avenue is too big to explore thoroughly in a single day. Instead, focus on hitting the masterpieces - what the museum is known for. Surprisingly, th...

Van Gogh & Gaugin - Studio of the South - user review
This was, hands down, the best art show I've ever seen. It was obviously a labor of love for the people who arranged it. Some of Van Gogh's best, including several on loan from New York and Amsterdam that I'd never seen before. I cried because the story of Van Gogh's attempt to create an artist's co...

There is a special golden room in my heart for the Art Institute of Chicago. It is the first building that I remember loving besides my own little home. I loved it so much that at age 9, while my mother thought that I was off bike-riding on summer afternoons, I frequently hopped a bus riding downtow...
