An art tour, the Chicago Art Museum
Millennium Park, is the 100-year-old art museum. The museum was built in 1879 and officially opened in 1893. With a total area of about 90,000 square meters and a collection of about 300,000 pieces of art, it is the second largest art museum in the United States. The two big lions at the doorway feel like art.
This world-class art museum brings together the essence of human creativity for the past 40 centuries. It houses a large collection of exhibits, mainly Greek, Roman, European and American art. It also collects art from India, Nanyang, China, Japan, Korea, Africa and the Americas. Perhaps the most famous is the works of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masters as well as American art.

Initially went here on a Spanish trip for my class and had so much fun with my classmates. I came back here again with my friends just for fun! Good student prices. The museum is filled with so many interesting pieces of artwork, it's nice to just walk around and try to understand what they all mean. The sculptures and oil paintings are my favorite exhibits.
Free family play area and thinking lounge off the Modern wing. Simple, quiet indoor space for all ages to relax after shopping or visiting the park. Kids can take part in free workshops, draw, build, read, create a unique journey map for a self-guided museum tour. Tweens and older may enjoy the lounge where you can leave questions for the museum or pick a conversation starter to engage with your group.
Wonderful museum in the heart of Chicago. Their permanent collection is especially worth seeing. They also have a very good cafe.
This place is magnificent! One of the best art museums I’ve been to. Didn’t have enough time to explore (only had three hours...). We had lunch there, too, and it was actually a pretty good meal. Will definitely go back.
Too many paintings so don’t try to do everything on one visit. Pace yourself and checkout the styles you like best.
