About

The Art Institute of Chicago is one of the United States’ deepest cross-period art museums, especially strong in Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, American art, modern art, Asian art, design and works on paper.

Why visit

A museum where canonical images still feel alive in person—balanced by enough depth in design, Asian art and works on paper to keep the visit from becoming a greatest-hits tour.
