Chicago's most worthwhile attractions—do your homework and you can spend a lot of time exploring. [The following appears unrelated and likely a separate topic:] Van Gogh, Seurat, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, and some bronzes from the China Pavilion. This close encounter with art and history is incredibly satisfying and enriching.

Institude Art of Chicago was outstanding palce. I have seen with my own eyes the timeless works of art. I've just come this Institude Art , that place served me diversity of species and art forms came from different school.

As soon as we entered the main building, we visited the European Art Gallery on the second floor. The collections on display here are all the works of art that the Art Institute of Chicago is proud of. The front lobby is mainly composed of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works. Around the staircase, there are some classified exhibition halls according to era and theme. If you have the possibility to travel to Chicago, you must reserve enough time to visit the entire museum.

Founded in 1891, the Art Institute of Chicago is one of the oldest art museums in the world and one of the three largest art museums in the United States. It is worth spending half a day to a day to visit here. It houses many works by French Impressionist painters such as Picasso and Van Gogh. The bronze lion statue next to the entrance is also very distinctive. It can be seen from a distance and is very eye-catching. This is also a major feature of the art museum. The art museum was once a small art exhibition hall of the Chicago Academy of Design. Later, under the promotion of the principal, it gradually developed into this art museum with rich collections. The biggest feature of this art museum is the huge time and work span of the collection. Exhibits from different periods and regions can be visited here. Before visiting, you can search for relevant collections in the exhibition hall online. Monet's water lily series can be visited here. Be sure to watch this amazing series of works up close. Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks", Van Gogh's "Bedroom in Arles" and "Self-Portrait" are all my favorite paintings. They are more shocking when viewed up close.

Loved it! Parking is underground and very close to the museum. I saw that you can book in advance online for a cheaper price. We spent 3 1/2 hours and didn't see it all. Next door is Millennium Park. You must see the Bean (Cloud Gate).

Next to the Art Institute of Chicago, I visited SAIC in the morning and then went directly to the museum until the evening. I picked up a map at the entrance. AIC is very large and messy. I marked the exhibition halls on the map after I passed them. Otherwise, it is easy to miss the exhibition hall without knowing it. It is recommended to spend more than 5 hours, which is enough to see the whole thing, but it may not be detailed enough.

The Art Institute of Chicago was built in 1891. It is located in downtown Chicago, on the shore of Lake Michigan. It consists of three three-story buildings.
