Om

Hurtige fakta: Forvent at vandre blandt omkring 300.000 kunstværker, fra gamle skulpturer til Seurats A Sunday on La Grande Jatte. Du finder berømte kunstværker som Grant Woods American Gothic og Edward Hoppers Nighthawks sammen med store impressionistiske lærreder, der gløder under blødt museumslys.

Højdepunkter: Træd tættere på Seurats A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, hvor tusindvis af farvede prikker samles til en livlig flodbredscene, når du ser på det cirka 3,5 meter væk. Udforsk de 68 Thorne miniature rum, hver bygget i nøjagtige mål med små sølvtøj, håndmalet tapet og stof så detaljeret, at du kan se enkeltstående tråde under tæt lys.

Buy timed-entry tickets online and arrive at the start time for the quietest experience.
Start in the Impressionist and American painting galleries to see Monet, Seurat, and American Gothic before crowds build.
Walk the Nichols Bridgeway and museum terrace for great skyline and Millennium Park photo opportunities.
