Additional Information
Introduction
The Rockefeller Chapel was named after the famous tycoon, and is the tallest building on the University of Chicago campus. With a Guastavino-tile ceiling, massive organ pipe and carved oak seating, the atmosphere is ideal for a graduation ceremony or a production of Handel's Messiah, which the University of Chicago Motet Choir has performed every year for more than 50 years. Weddings are also performed at the chapel.

Absolutely Beautiful. A must visit place. Even better if you can actually attend an event there. Lots of history in a small building.
An integral part of the University of Chicago campus, only a Rockefeller would describe this building as a "chapel." With its impressive outside architecture and a beautiful interior the university uses it for graduations and other events in addition to worship services.
Beautiful architecture and incredible historic organ.
That slender gothic tower contains 72 bells=78 tons. Climb to the top. Experience heaven in the midst of a tremendous & joyous din. Wow. Check schedule.
The name ;Chapel; will mislead you. It is more like a small Gothic church, used as a chapel for the University of Chicago. Unfortunately, I think universities should be more open and have a long-term perspective. Now removing all things related to Christianity will undoubtedly damage the original architecture and design of the church. Try to go to music festivals, especially church music, the acoustics here are great.
