The Art Institute of Chicago is one of my favorite museums from around the world. I've traveled through most of Europe and into Asia, and I find that this museum has an outstanding collections of Impressionism, even rivaling the D'Orsay in Paris.

Also, extremely well staffed with the nicest volunteers... More
