Art Institute of Chicago

The Art Institute of Chicago, founded in 1879 as both a museum and school, first stood on the southwest corner of State and Monroe Streets. It opened on its present site at Michigan Avenue and Adams Street in 1893. Built on rubble from the 1871 Chicago fire, the museum housed a collection of plaster casts and had a visionary purpose: to acquire and exhibit art of all kinds and to conduct programs of education.

Love Chicago Art Institute

By lin November 18, 2010

When my daughter turned 10 years old, a friend of mine took her to Art Institute for a day and got her a book about Van Gugh. That was one of the best birthday present and she still talks about it.
