I live in Chicago and I'm a member of the Art Institute. So, every time I have out of town visitors their trip is not complete without visiting this fantastic museum. They have iconic works of Seurat, Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh etc, etc, etc and this is just to name a few. This Museum has a little bit of everything...

This has to be one of the most beautiful Art Institute I have been to. I would not recommend doing this all in one day as you will get over load of Art. Take your time and enjoy

You need time for this, there is so much to see! I believe it has the biggest collection of Impressionist paintings outside Paris which I find amazing - and that really was worth a lot of time. Just so much in one place. Many other important galleries as well. I am so impressed that the gallery came about through philanthropy...

If this is your kind of thing, plan wisely. We spent 6 1/2 hours touring the Art Institute, but still didn't see everything. This was our favorite part of the trip.

What a beautiful museum! It's huge and I mean it's massive. I wish I had a few days to visit it, because that's what you need (is that big). Lovely works of art and time pieces. I would definitely visit again. Bring a few snacks so you can make it thru a while longer. Enjoy, it's beautiful!

The Art Institute of Chicago has some of the world's most famous works of art. Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte painted in 1884,by Georges Seurat is huge. I also loved seeing a Salvador Dali painting up close and personal.

We didn't have a lot of time so went for the 'Essentials' tour. I downloaded the free App to my phone via the free wifi and this was brilliant. It has a map of the museum showing where you are and where the key exhibits are. I also loved that it has a built in audio guide - very clever....

You should plan out your visit and prioritize what to see as you will never cover the whole place in a day and remain coherent. Start at the impressionists on the top floor, probably the best collection in the US of this period, and work your way down. We spent about 1/2 day there exploring, early 20th century American art...
