Poor guy got shot right on Michigan avenue at 7:30 last night. He was coming from a wine tasting and the local animal shot him and rode away on a bicycle. Do you feel lucky?

I had some time by myself in Chicago while my husband was at a conference and this was a lovely way to spend several hours. The Institute has 3 floors so there is a lot of cultural items to explore. I started on the top floor and worked my way down. Renting the headset was a good idea - it... More 

What a wonderful museum! So many things to see, plan at least three hours. But you could easily spend more time than that. Don't miss the impressionist wing!! Highly recommend to everyone. Easy layout and even good eats. Enjoy!
