This is hands-down the best collections of art in the country, and one of the best in the world. It cannot be missed. Here, you have the opportunity to see great works by Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Rene Magritte, Henri Matisse, Archibald Motley Jr., Georgia O'Keeffe, Edward Hopper, Elizabeth Catlett... the list goes on and on. You can (and need to) spend a day here. Have lunch in the cafe! And if you're a student, be sure to present your id for a discount.

This art gallery is the ultimate in my opinion. With treasures from all time periods, there is something from everyone's taste. My friend who is not "into art" was even drawn in by the number of "poster" pictures (pictures he has seen prints of in art books and people's living rooms). This is stop no. 1 in Chicago for anyone who visits the city.

This museum is so culturally diverse in that it has everything from Asian, Indian, Middle Ages, Impressionism, Egyptian exhibits, and so on. There is literally something for everyone. I love the Arms and Armor room, where they display swords throughout the ages and from different countries. Also, there are many other battle type items such as shields and axes. This museum is a must see in Chicago. It has works from famous artists such as Monet, Manet, Van Gogh, Piccaso, Wood, Matisse, Okeef, etc. Just a great place to see.

Sunday we hit the Art Institute. If you like art, this place is for you. I wasn't too sure if I was going to like the place because I'm not really into art, but it was actually pretty neat. I'm glad I went. If you go, plan to spend all day there because there is so much to see and take in.

If you like art, this is the place for you. I personally went for the first time many, many years ago because of that movie "Ferris Bueller." I wanted to see in person "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat. It then became one of my favorite pieces.

The only thing better than shopping all that weekend and Moonstruck's peanut butter shakes was the show that happen to be going on at the Art Institute that showed the making of Georges masterpiece. Beyond what I ever thought and could imagine, it made me fall in love with it all over again. Of course, it pleased me to death that my husband enjoyed the show and now has a newfound respect for the copy in our living room.
