The Art Institute of Chicago

Renowned art museum holding nearly 300,000 works from all over the world, spanning many centuries.

The Art Institute of Chicago is one of the oldest and most important art museums in the United States, with an encyclopedic collection of over 300,000 works in a Beaux-Arts building at the edge of Millennium Park. A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, American Gothic, and Nighthawks hang alongside one of the world's finest Impressionist collections, and a contemporary wing designed by Renzo Piano.
