City in a Garden: Queer Art and Activism in Chicago is an intergenerational group exhibition that highlights Chicago’s essential, yet often underacknowledged, role in the story of queer art and activism. The exhibition examines this history from the mid-1980s, when activists radically mobilized in response to the US government’s disastrous handling of the AIDS crisis. In this moment of change, activists reclaimed the historically pejorative epithet “queer” as a liberatory term, encompassing all who purposefully deviate from heteronormative society. Drawn from the MCA’s collection and other local collections, City in a Garden follows this paradigm shift in LGBTQ+ history by bringing together work from over 30 artists and collectives working in Chicago from the 1980s to the present.

Chicago&#39;s most worthwhile attractions&mdash;do your homework and you can spend a lot of time exploring. [The following appears unrelated and likely a separate topic:] Van Gogh, Seurat, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, and some bronzes from the China Pavilion. This close encounter with art and history is incredibly satisfying and enriching.

Is it worth the price probably not, do they know that definitely, will it change never because the people that do it are spending the money on a once in a lifetime experience to say they been there, done that and will most likely never return to do it again lol but the views are definitely spectacular especially for the sunset viewing times. If you do go definitely worth going around the sunset time. But be warned it will take you about 1.5 hours to get out of there because of the extremely long line to get back down. So pack a bag of snacks and take it with you so you can chill and enjoying the views instead of walking in the long line down. I did not do the Tilt because that was definitely not worth the price and again the lines are super long you could wait up to an hour or more just to do it. You also not guaranteed to do the tilt at the time of when you get your upload but the line to do it probably started from previous uploads.

The John Hancock Center is a place you can visit by appointment. Group tours in Chicago generally do not include activities in this place, but you can stop by here when you are traveling on your own to get to know some of the characteristics of American architecture and culture.

I came to Field Museum in the year of 2021. At that time, COVID was still a big thing, however, I still want to visit. it was amazing to see such a beautiful museum.

Grant Park

Grant Park is also a good place to visit for free. The most common people you see are locals doing outdoor sports. Running is very popular and can be seen at different times of the day. There are also some people walking their dogs.
