Welcome to the Art Institute of Chicago! Voted #1 Museum in the United Welcome to the Art Institute of Chicago! Voted #1 Museum in the United States by TripAdvisor reviewers, the Art Institute of Chicago is a must- see for visitors to the City. From the world-renowned French Impressionist Collection to American favorites like Grant Wood’s American Gothic; from ancient world treasures to modern masterpieces - the museum has something for everyone. A traveler could easily spend the entire afternoon exploring the over one million square feet of exhibitions. For those of you who are interested in taking in more of the City, the Art Institute is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Chicago, surrounded by great shopping, parks, and other tourist attractions. Here are just a few of the “must-see” locations around the Art Institute. If you don’t have time to check them out this trip, you’ll have to make a point to come back to visit our great City. Nearby Landmarks and Views Millennium Park: located just north of the Art Institute is home to several landmarks including Jay Pritzker Pavilion, the Cloud Gate (“Bean”) sculpture, Lurie Garden and the Crown Fountain. Grant Park: located just south of the Art Institute is also famous for its green space and sculptures. Most notably, Buckingham Fountain Chicago Cultural Center: Hosts fantastic free concerts and cultural events, four art galleries, and beautiful architecture. Located at 78 E Washington St. Willis Tower: Formerly known as Sears Tower is located about 0.6 miles away from the Art Institute at 233 S Wacker Dr. Visit Willis Tower’s 103rd floor to experience spectacular views spanning up to 50 miles and four states and step out on the glass floored “Ledge” balcony to see 1,353 below you. There are also several dining options available at the Tower. Longer Walk or a Short Cab Ride For a longer walk, take the Lakefront trail about 1.3 miles north to visit Navy Pier. Here you will find over 50 acres of parks, gardens, entertainment, restaurants, and attractions, including the world-famous Navy Pier Ferris wheel. Take a spin for some great views of the Chicago Skyline. The Art Institute is about 1.2 miles north of the Chicago Museum Campus- home to Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, and the Field Museum of Natural History. Each of these attractions could be an all-day stop during a Chicago visit, but there may be time to choose one to tour after you explore the Art Institute. Also central to the museum campus, see Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears and enjoy some more pedestrian friendly, lakeside space and views in the parks surrounding the campus.

  • Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting
    FIRST COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF RENOIR’S FULL-LENGTH CANVASES BRINGS TOGETHER ICONIC WORKS FROM EUROPE AND THE U.S. FOR AN EXCLUSIVE NEW YORK CITY EXHIBITION RENOIR, IMPRESSIONISM, AND FULL-LENGTH PAINTING February 7 through May 13, 2012 This winter and spring The Frick Collection presents an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist’s engagement with the full-length format. Its use was associated with the official Paris Salon from the mid-1870s to mid- 1880s, the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by Renoir’s La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Frick’s permanent collection. Intended for public display, the vertical grand-scale canvases in the exhibition are among the artist’s most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. The show and accompanying catalogue draw on contemporary criticism, literature, and archival documents to explore the motivation behind Renoir’s full-length figure paintings as well as their reception by critics, peers, and the public. Recently-undertaken technical studies of the canvases will also shed new light on the artist’s working methods. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne from Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919), Dance at Bougival, 1883, oil on canvas, 71 5/8 x 38 5/8 inches, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Picture Fund; photo: © 2012 Museum the National Museum Wales, Cardiff; The Umbrellas (Les Parapluies) from The of Fine Arts, Boston National Gallery, London (first time since 1886 on view in the United States); and Dance in the City and Dance in the Country from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.
