I had a layover at Union Station and decided to spend my few hours in Chicago touring the museum and I’m very glad I did! I could’ve spent days exploring this place, it is certainly a world class art museum. Enjoyed the contemporary wing a lot, and the even the building itself is an architectural marvel. Also want to acknowledge and thank Sabrina in the gift shop for her assistance selecting souvenirs to bring home.

This was our first Art Gallery we have been to. The setup was really incredible, with plenty of space around most installations as to not be too crowded while admiring the original works of so many brilliant artists, including Van Gogh, Monet and Georges Seurat. You could easily spend 3 hours here, especially if all the exhibits are open. This was the only place we visited in Chicago with a free coat check, and no hassle with renting a wheelchair for my pregnant wife. 4 stars only because the Photography Exhibit was closed and we were really looking forward to that.

The Art Institute of Chicago is a cultural gem. The extensive collection spans diverse eras and cultures, offering a rich artistic experience. Navigating the museum is seamless, thanks to clear signage and well-organized exhibits. The staff is knowledgeable and approachable, adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere. The museum's architecture is impressive, complementing the masterpieces within. While admission can be a bit steep, the cultural enrichment gained from a visit makes it a worthwhile investment for art enthusiasts.

The Art Institute of Chicago is like stepping into a world of timeless art and culture. It's a place featuring famous works by Monet and Seurat. One of the most amazing paintings where I took about 10 minutes just to look was Gustave Caillebotte's Paris Street; Rainy Day.Then, it's like traveling back to ancient Egypt, where mummies and golden artifacts tell stories of a mysterious past. The Native American exhibit adds another layer of depth, showcasing the rich traditions and art of indigenous cultures with vibrant pottery and textiles.Every corner of this museum feels alive with history and creativity. Whether you're an art buff or just curious, the Art Institute is a place where you can connect with the past and find inspiration in the beauty of human expression. It's not just about viewing art; it's about experiencing the world through the eyes of different cultures and times.

This was my first visit to the Art Institute. We spent just a couple of hours there. If time had not been a consideration, we could have spent twice as much time exploring. To me, it's always a marvelous feeling to get experience being near the pieces of one's greatest interest. In our case, seeing art and artifacts from ancient cultures increased my appreciation of history itself.In my opinion, the museum has a vast variety of displays, which makes it easy to find an area of personal interest. I would absolutely recommend a visit.

In the Chicago Art Museum there are beautiful works of art by different painters and sculptors from different continents, and different periods in the history of humanity; Among them are those of Picasso with his Sketches and Impressions. There is also the emblematic work called “the room”, like the self-portrait” of Vicente Van Gogh; “The Penance of Saint Peter” by the artist Jusepe de Ribera; “The Assumption of Mary”, by El Greco; “The Crucifixion” by Francisco de Zurbarán. Renoir's impressionism (“The Two Sisters on the Terrace”); Fine bronze and marble sculptures by Rodin; among other important artists.In short, there are so many rooms that it is impossible to visit them all in one day. I recommend becoming a member of the museum so you can visit on different occasions and enjoy a feast of fine arts.

This place is illegally holding Jewish works and refuse to return it to the rightful owner. Classic FIB chicago move. And pretty anti-jewish. Leadership at this place needs to be fired immediately and the stolen art of Egon Schiele's "Russian War Prisoner is returned to his heirs
