Rec. #816: The Art Institute of Chicago


Chicago Series




What: The Art Institute of Chicago is one of the largest museums in the United States, and one of the best art museums in the world. The collection includes iconic works from Seurat and Hopper, but perhaps you know the museum best from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

And let's not forget the gorgeous and huge Modern Wing, which is celebrating its ten anniversary this year, or the visitor-favorite Thorne Miniature Rooms, which Wes Anderson praised during an interview with Terry Gross (very on-brand for all parties involved).

How to get it: Be sure to see if you qualify for free admission. If you can't get there in person, you can also explore the collection via Google Arts & Culture.
