The Art Institute of Chicago possesses an unparalleled collection of fabulous artwork, ranging from classic American standards to ancient works from all over the world. A trip to this fabulous museum is much more than a tour of artwork—it is a trip through the history of the world! Explore the rich cultures of Ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt before traveling to Africa, South America, and Asia. Walk through galleries of hand-crafted suits of armor and fanciful European crafts.

Be propelled into the Renaissance, then explore the time of the Impressionists, who turned the art world on its ear.

Finally, see some of the most revolutionary contemporary artists who challenged tradition and changed the art world forever!

The world of art is open for all individuals, but the museum takes extra steps to accommodate children. The Art Institute of Chicago strives to focus on the family through kid friendly tours and activities frequently held at the museum.

Children will love a chance to enter a world where reality is suspended for the sake of art and history comes alive to their senses. Be sure to check out this fabulous museum on your trip to Chicago…it is truly a city must-see!
