Description

No trip to Chicago is complete without a visit to the world-renowned Art Institute - now the nation’s second-largest museum. Walk across the Nichols Bridgeway from Millennium Park and experience Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano’s Modern Wing, home to world-renowned collections of modern and contemporary art, architecture, design, and photography. Then stroll back in time and let your old favorites - iconic artists like Seurat, Hopper, Monet, and Rembrandt - guide you through the historical Michigan Avenue building and to treasured works from around the world.

Bringing the whole family? Kids under 14 are free! Drop by the state-of-the-art Ryan Education Center for stories, games, and art activities for toddlers through teens. Or, travel to the Thorne Miniature Rooms (68 model rooms created on a one-inch-to-one-foot scale) and achieve a "heightened" sense of self.
